3 Notes
The Sun Never Says
Even after all this time
The sun never says to the earth,
“You owe Me.”
Look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.
~Hafiz
IT HAS NOT RAINED LIGHT
It has not rained light for many days.
The Wells in most eyes look
Drought-stricken.
Thus friends are not easy to find
In this barren
Place.
Where most everyone has become ill
From guarding
Nothing.
On this primal caravan
Careers and cities can appear real in this
Intense
Desert heat.
But I say to my close ones,
“Don’t get lost in them,
It has not rained light there for days.
Look, most everyone is diseased
From ‘making love’ to
Nothing.”
~ Hafiz
