The Gift

You've no idea how hard I've looked
for a gift to bring You.
Nothing seemed right.

What's the point of bringing gold to the gold mine,
or water to the Ocean.
Everything I came up with
was like taking spices to the Orient.

It's no good giving my heart and my soul
because you already have these.

So - I've brought you a mirror.

Look at yourself and remember me.

... Mevlana Jalalludin Rumi
