Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi - Whoever Brought Me Here Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi - Whoever Brought Me Here
Work rating: Medium


All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I`m sure of that, and I intend to end up there. This drunkenness began in some other tavern. When I get back around to that place, I`ll be completely sober. Meanwhile, I`m like a bird from another continent, sitting in this aviary. The day is coming when I fly off, but who is it now in my ear who hears my voice? Who says words with my mouth? Who looks out with my eyes? What is the soul? I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison for drunks. I didn`t come here of my own accord, and I can`t leave that way. Whoever brought me here, will have to take me home. This poetry. I never know what I`m going to say. I don`t plan it. When I`m outside the saying of it, I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.
