Today in contemplation
Hanging with Hafiz
Sadness enters when you leave. Stay. Share your kinship with all. You are the one. Do not speak of shame and guilt. Reveal yourself as love. Weave yourself into the souls of those who seek. Make this the garment that you wear the most. Do not leave. Remain until the new day. Tonight, you are love. Carry all who wish to ride. Keep them snug in arms of joy. The moon is radiant. Your cheeks aglow. Your eyes portray the ancient stories of spirits entwined. Your body is receding. Soon only the light will encompass you. You are born into the sun. Daylight has come to carry you away. All await your return.
