Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 - Joseph Riley Hafiz Tuesday, February 12, 2002 10:08 PM [Hafiz] Several Times in the Last Week Several Times in the Last Week Ever since Happiness heard your name,It has been running through the streetsTrying to find you. And several times in the last week,God Himself has even come to my door – Asking me for your address! Once I said,“God,I thought You knew everything.Why are You asking meWhere Your lovers live?” And the Beloved replied, Indeed, Hafiz, I do know Everything –But it is fun playing dumb once in a while.And I love intimate chatAnd the warmth of your heart’s fire. Maybe we should make this poem into a song –It think it has potential! How does this refrain sound,For I know it is a Truth: Ever since Happiness heard your name,It has been running through the streetsTrying to find you.And several times in the last week,God Himself has come to my door –So sweetly asking for your address,Wanting the beautiful warmth of your heart’s fire.
