A Mine of Rubies~Rumi 

 





 Last night I learned how to be a lover of God,
 To live in this world and call nothing my own.

 I looked inward
 and the beauty of my own emptiness
 filled me till dawn.
 It enveloped me like a mine of rubies.
 Its hue clothed me in red silk.

 Within the cavern of my soul
 I heard a voice of a lover crying,
 "Drink now! Drink now!" --

 I took a sip and saw the vast ocean --
 Wave upon wave caressed my soul.
 The lovers of God dance around
 And the circle of their steps
 becomes a ring of fire round my neck.

 Heaven calls me with its rain and thunder --
 a hundred thousand cries
 yet I cannot hear ...

 All I hear is the call of my Beloved.
