Light will some day split you open - Hafiz

    Light will someday split you open
    Even if your life is now a cage,
    For a divine seed, the crown of destiny,
    Is hidden and sown on an ancient, fertile plain
    You hold the title to...
    Love will surely bust you wide open
    Into an unfettered, blooming new galaxy
    Even if your mind is now
    A spoiled mule.

    A life-giving radiance will come,
    The Friend's gratuity will come

    O look again within yourself,
    For I know you were once the elegant host
    To all the marvels in creation.

    From a sacred crevice in your body
    A bow rises each night
    And shoots your soul into God.

    Behold the Beautiful Drunk Singing One
    From the lunar vantage point of love.

    He is conducting the affairs
    Of the whole universe
    While throwing wild parties
    In a tree house - on a limb
    In your heart.

    Hafiz
