IT HAS NOT RAINED LIGHT

 

It has not rained light for many days.

The wells in most eyes look

Drought-stricken.

 

Thus friends are not easy to find

In this barren

Place

 

Where most everyone has become ill

>From guarding

Nothing.

 

On this primal caravan

Careers and cities can appear real in this

Intense

Desert heat,

 

But I say to my close ones,

 

"Don't get lost in them,

It has not rained light there for days.

 

Look, almost everyone is diseased

>From 'making love' to

Nothing."

 

 

 

("The Gift" - versions of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky)
