Hafiz Mystic Poet

     It Felt Love

How Did the rose

Ever open its heart

And give to this world

All its Beauty?

It felt the encouragement of light

Against its Being,

Otherwise,

We all remain

Too Frightened.

 

The Day Sky

Let us be like

Two falling stars in the day sky.

Let no one know of our sublime beauty

As we hold hands with

God

And burn

Into a sacred existence that defies -

That surpasses

Every description of ecstasy

And love.
