Didn’t I Tell You?
Didn’t I tell you?
Do not leave me.
For I am your only friend.
I am the spring of life.
.
Even if you leave in anger
for thousands of years
you will come back to me.
For I am your goal and your end.
.
Didn’t I tell you?
Not to be seduced by this colorful world.
For I am the ultimate painter.
.
Didn’t I tell you?
You are a fish.
Do not go to dry land.
For I am the deep sea.
.
Didn’t I tell you?
Not to fall in the net like birds.
For I am your wings
and the power of light.
.
Didn’t I tell you?
Not to let them change your mind
and turn you to ice.
For I am your fire and warmth.
.
Didn’t I tell you?
They will corrupt you
and make you forget
that I am the spring of all virtues.
.
Didn’t I tell you?
Not to question my actions.
For everything falls into order.
I am the Creator.
.
Didn’t I tell you?
Your heart can guide you home
because it knows that I am your Master.

Questa è Enida 
One of my favourite Rumi quotes mom told me a long time ago
”God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches you by means of opposites, so that you will have two wings to fly – not one.”
Sha, thank you for your comment over two years ago. I missed it back then, only to read it today… when I needed it the most!
Hugs!
