the seed cracked open

 





.



It used to be
That when I would wake in the morning
I could with confidence say,
“What am ‘I’ going to 
Do?”
 
That was before the seed
Cracked open.
Now Hafiz is certain:
There are two of us housed
In this body,
Doing the shopping together in the market and
Tickling each other
While fixing the evening’s food.
 
Now when I awake
All the internal instruments play the same music:
“God, what love-mischief can 'We’ do
For the world
Today?”
 
 
—Hafiz
The Gift
