Here you will find the Poem Not Here of poet Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi

Not Here

There's courage involved if you want
to become truth. 

There is a broken- open place in a lover. 

Where are those qualities of bravery and 
sharp compassion in this group? What's the
use of old and frozen thought? 

I want a howling hurt. This is not a treasury
where gold is stored; this is for copper.

We alchemists look for talent that
can heat up and change. 

Lukewarm won't do. Halfhearted holding back,
well-enough getting by? Not here.
