Rumishi: Living in the ocean

【English to Chinese】

Twilight was dark, and I was alone in my boat

Dangling a place where there is no light and no land

The clouds were thick and I struggled to float on the water

However, I have long lived in the ocean

- Rumi (roxana translation)

Late, by myself, in the boat of myself,

no light and no land anywhere,

cloudcover thick, I try to stay

just above the surface, yet I’m already under

and living within the ocean.
