Quoting Rumi Sometimes

I have not read Rumi even once
Bar, for the stimulating relatable quotes
His was of divinity, or self discovery
Mine is of absolving both from my self

I have been a God, or of impregnable fortitude
Been the fulcrum of resolution
Tacit towards the troubles of known fellows
In vehement ignorance of my turning to man

As Gods fade, civilizations fall
Love, regrets, and of love's regret befalls upon
I was churned, swirled into a whirlpool of lost
My mind washed ashore in this human cast

When I quote Rumi's words now, relate to each
I find nothing but a faltering of my heart
Had I been the human, when I fell in love
I would be loved, I would have become my love
