I Am and I Am Not

I’m drenched in the flood

which has yet to come

I’m tied up in the prison

which has yet to exist

Not having played

the game of chess

I’m already the checkmate

Not having tasted

a single cup of your wine
I’m already drunk

Not having entered

the battlefield

I’m already wounded

and slain

I no longer know

the difference
between image

and reality

Like the shadow
I am
And I am not

Rumi translated by fereydoun Kia - Deepak Chopra
