We Should Talk about This
Problem
There is a Beautiful Creature
Living
in a hole you have dug.
So
at night
I
set fruit and grains
And
little pots of wine and milk
Beside
your soft earthen mounds,
And
I often sing.
But
still, my dear,
You
do not come out.
I
have fallen in love with Someone
Who
hides inside you.
We
should talk about this problem-
Otherwise,
I
will never leave you alone.
Hafiz,
Rendered by Daniel Ladinsky
No matter who
you are. No matter where you are.
Someone is looking for you. Perhaps you just don't
recognize who.
The emptiness can't be filled with material things.
The emptiness can only be filled by your love.
Don't say "I have no one to love", start with yourself
and end with the universe. SF
The
Stairway of Existence
We
Are not
In pursuit of formalities
Or fake religious
Laws,
For
through the stairway of existence
We have come to God's
Door.
We
are
People who need to love, because
Love is the soul's life,
Love
is simply creation's greatest joy.
Through
The stairway of existence,
O, through the stairway of existence, Hafiz,
Have
You now come,
Have we all now come to
The Beloved's
Door.
Hafiz
