The Moon's Slave

I am the slave of the moon.
It's the only thing I'm interested in.
So don't talk to me about anything other than
the moon, the candle, the sweet taste of sugar.

Don't ever speak the word "trouble" out loud.
Talk to me only of treasure.
If you don't understand what I'm getting at,
then please leave me alone.

Rumi
