How Does It Feel to Be a Heart?

 

Once a young woman asked me,

 

“How does it feel to be a man?”And I replied,

 

“My dear,I am not so sure.”

 

Then she said,“Well, aren’t you a man?”

 

And this time I replied,

 

“I view genderAs a beautiful animalThat people often take for a

walk on a leashAnd might enter in some odd contestTo try to win

strange prizes.

 

My dear,A better question for HafizWould have been,

 

‘How does it feel to be a heart?”

 

For all I know is Love,And I find my heart InfiniteAnd Everywhere!”
