Okay, I admit it. I'm on a Hafiz High for a day or two. Thissun wakes my heart up with a good laugh...
Resist your temptation to lie
By speaking of separation from God,
Otherwise,
We might have to medicate
You.
In the ocean
A lot goes on beneath your eyes.
Listen,
They have clinics there too
For the insane
Who persist in saying things like:
"I am independent from the
Sea,
God is not always around
Gently
Pressing against
My body."
From: 'The Gift'

I love Hafiz and I love this poem too. What a bubbly sort of a soul he must have been :) Fizzy, sorta :)
I've only just discovered him, Sue, and I feel like I've known him for ever. But then I probably have;)
I could share a jar or two with this cool dude...
He's a beautiful man. You can tell. I think he'd be good to share a jar with too. Him and Rumi :)
