I think of myself as a crumb from Rumi's table

I think of myself as a crumb from Rumi's table.
But even a crumb may keep the flavor. My talk
may stir someone's appetite.  If I'm able
to make mouths water, why should I balk?
I think of myself as a crumb from Rumi's table.

This banquet serves all who savor truth.
And if I'm but a condiment, there is the meal.
Eat hearty, my friends.  It will surely prove
most nourishing.  Your lack of trust will heal.
