Wing in my slow feet
by Rumi
how long
can i see myself
chained in this prison
chained in this world
the time has come
to take my good life
in my hands and
gallop to the sublime
finally purified
i'm no more polluted
and from now on
i'll take my quests
directly to God Himself
i was given
at my birth
all the estates and mansions
it will be a heresy
to accept only
a doorkeeper's job
once i alter this
doorkeeper's attitude
once i change the
essence in my mind
happiness will replace misery
now my dear heart
since you and i are all alone
having your midnight message
i'll do exactly
that which you know
once i grow wings
in place of my slow feet
all obstacles will vanish
and i really can fly in
time and space again
Ghazal 1391
Translation by Nader Khalili
"Rumi -- Fountain of Fire"
