Daring Enough To Finish | Rumi Poem

This poem by Rumi is about stepping into boldness and inner transformation. As the speaker surrenders to a divine spark, they move from timid waiting to daring action, letting go of fear and embracing the fruit of their own growth.

Mawlana Jalaluddin Mohammad Balkhi, popularly known as "Rumi", is a 13th-century Sufi poet. Today, he is recognised as one of the greatest poets who ever lived, due in part to how his words seem to speak to the Divine.

Transcript

A face that lights my face. You spin intelligence into these particles I am. Your wind shivers my tree. My mouth tastes sweet with your name in it. You make my dance daring enough to finish. No more timidity. Let fruit fall and wind turn my roots up in the air. With patient. Waiting.
