the perfect 0ne

 

.

The moon is most happy 
When it is full. 

And the sun always looks
Like a perfectly minted gold coin 
That was just Polished 
And placed in flight 
By God's playful Kiss. 

And so many varieties of fruit 
Hang plump and round 
From branches that seem like a Sculptor's hands. 

I see the beautiful curve of a pregnant belly 
Shaped by a soul within, 
And the Earth itself, 
And the planets and the Spheres.

I have gotten the hint: 
There is something about circles 
The Beloved likes. 

Hafiz, 
Within the Circle of a Perfect One 
There is an Infinite Community 
Of Light.


—Hafiz
something about circles 

.

When we understand, 

we are at the centre of the circle 

and there we sit 

while Yes and No 

chase each other 

around the circumference.


—Chuang Tzu
