[Hafiz] WE HAVE NOT COME TO TAKE PRISONERS

WE HAVE NOT COME TO TAKE PRISONERS

We have not come here to take prisoners,But to surrender ever more deeplyTo freedom and joy.

We have not come into this exquisite worldTo hold ourselves hostage from love.

Run my dear,From anythingThat may not strengthenYour precious budding wings.

Run like hell my dear,From anyone likely To put a sharp knifeInto the

sacred, tender visionOf your beautiful heart.

We have a duty to befriendThose aspects of obedienceThat stand outside

of our houseAnd shout to our reason"O please, O please,Come out and

play."

For we have not come here to take prisonersOr to confine our wondrous spirits,

But to experience ever and ever more deeplyOur divine courage, freedom and Light!
