[Hafiz] Circles

Hafiz

Circles

The moon is most happyWhen it is full.

And the sun always looksLike a perfectly minted gold coin

That was just PolishedAnd placed in flightBy God’s playful Kiss.

And so many varieties of fruitHang plump and round

>From branches that seem like a Sculptor’s hands.

I see the beautiful curve of a pregnant bellyShaped by a soul within,

And the Earth itself,And the planets and the Spheres –

I have gotten the hint:

There is something about circlesThe Beloved likes.

Hafiz,Within the Circle of a Perfect One

There is an Infinite CommunityOf Light.

(“I Heard God Laughing” – versions of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky)
