In the End

In the end, the mountains of imagination were nothing
  but a house.
And this grand life of mine was nothing but an excuse.
You've been hearing my story so patiently for a lifetime
Now hear this: it was nothing but a fairy tale.

Notes

Excerpt from Rumi, 'Thief of Sleep' translated by by Shahram Shiva
