Hafiz, "Where Dolphins Dance"
Again
The work starts
As soon as you open your eyes in the
Morning.
Hopefully you got
Some good rest last night.
Why go into the city or the fields
Without first kissing
The Friend
Who always stands at your door?
It takes only a second.
Habits are human nature -
Why not create some that will mint
Gold?
Your arms are violin bows
Always moving.
I have become very conscious upon
Whom we all play.
Thus my eyes have filled with warm
Soft oceans of divine music
Where jeweled dolphins dance
Then leap into this
World.
