a sweet question

 .

The moon came to me last night

With a sweet question.

She said,

“The sun has been my faithful lover 

For millions of years.

Whenever I offer my body to him 

Brilliant light pours from his heart.

Thousands then notice my happiness 

And delight in pointing

toward my beauty.

Hafiz, 

Is it true that our destiny

Is to turn into Light

Itself?”

And I replied, 

"Dear moon, 

Now that your love is maturing,

We need to sit together

Close like this more often

So I might instruct you 

How to become

Who you

Are!"

–Hafiz
