Rumi: 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
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.
