When I die by RUMI


When I die, I hope that I  remember Death is just a door to another world. 

When I die
when my coffin
is being taken out  
you must never think i am missing this world don't shed any tears don't lament or feel sorry i'm not falling into a monster's abyss when you see my corpse is being carried don't cry for my leaving i'm not leaving i'm arriving at eternal love when you leave me in the grave don't say goodbye remember a grave is only a curtain for the paradise behind you'll only see me descending into a grave now watch me rise how can there be an end when the sun sets or the moon goes down it looks like the end it seems like a sunset but in reality it is a dawn when the grave locks you up that is when your soul is freed have you ever seen a seed fallen to earth not rise with a new life why should you doubt the rise of a seed named human have you ever seen a bucket lowered into a well coming back empty why lament for a soul when it can come back like Joseph from the well when for the last time you close your mouth your words and soul will belong to the world of no place no time

  1. Yes! The great Rumi, his words are spoken from the heart and therefor very true.
    I stumbled upon your lovely blog and read a few articles. Your journey is one of great wisdom and I hope you'll succeed.
