Hafiz ♡ Spin and Surrender

 

 

I wish I could speak like music.
I wish I could put the swaying splendor

Of the fields into words
So that you could hold Truth
Against your body
And dance.

I am trying the best I can
With this crude brush, the tongue,
To cover you with light.

I wish I could speak like divine music.

I want to give you the sublime rhythms
Of this earth and the sky's limbs
As they joyously spin and surrender,
Surrender
Against God's luminous breath.

Hafiz Wants you to hold me
Against your precious
Body

And dance
Dance.

Hafiz ♡ For no reason

 

 

               And
                For no reason
                I start skipping like a child. And
                For no reason
                I turn into a leaf
                That is carried so high
                I kiss the sun's mouth
                And dissolve.

                And
                For no reason
                A thousand birds
                Choose my head for a conference table,
                Start passing their
                Cups of wine
                And their wild songbooks all around.

                And
                For every reason in existence
                I begin to eternally,
                To eternally laugh and love!

                When I turn into a leaf
                And start dancing,
                I run to kiss our beautiful Friend
                And I dissolve in the Truth
                That I Am.
