Hafiz - The Beloved’s Divine Game

    The sky
    Is a suspended blue ocean.
    The stars are the fish
    That swim.


    The planets are the white whales
    I sometimes hitch a ride on,
    And the sun and all light
    Have forever fused themselves
    Into my heart and upon
    My skin.


    There is only one rule
    On this Wild Playground,
    For every sign Hafiz has ever seen
    Reads the same.


    They all say,
    “Have fun, my dear; my dear, have fun,
    In the Beloved’s Divine Game,
    O, in the Beloved’s
    Wonderful
    Game.
