poetry

[bluesafire]

Sometimes all you can do
Is write poetry,
When no one understands,
Not even you.
For what lies in the heart
Cannot be understood,
Only known.
And the knowing is...
Exquisite beauty,
Found both in peace
And in moments of
Deepest suffering.

[sylvanlightning]

Indeed, well spoken! Reminds me of this kind soul...

'You have not danced so badly, my dear,
Trying to hold hands with the Beautiful One.

You have waltzed with great style,
My sweet, crushed angel,
To have ever neared God's heart at all.

Our Partner is notoriously difficult to follow,
And even His best musicians are not always easy
To hear.

So what if the music has stopped for a while.

So what If the price of admission to the
Divine Is out of reach tonight.

So what, my dear,
If you do not have the ante to gamble for
Real Love.

The mind and the body are famous
For holding the heart ransom,
But Hafiz knows the
Beloved's eternal habits.

Have patience,
For He will not be able to resist your longing
For Long.

You have not danced so badly, my dear,
Trying to kiss the Beautiful One.

You have actually waltzed with tremendous style,
O my sweet,
O my sweet crushed angel.'

~~*Hafiz
