Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 Someone Who Can Kiss God Come to my house late at night –Do not be shy.Hafiz will be barefoot and dancing. I will beIn such a grand and generous mood! Come to my door at any hour,Even if your eyesAre frightened by my light.My heart and arms are openAnd need no rest –They will always welcome you. Come in, my dear,From that harsh worldThat has rained elements of stoneUpon your tender face. Every soulShould receive a toast from usFor bravery! Bring all the bottles of wine you ownTo this divine table – the earthWe share. If your cellar is empty,This whole UniverseCould drink foreverFrom mine! Let’s dine tonight with exquisite music.I might even hire angelsTo play – just for you. Look!Hidden beneath your feetIs a Luminous StageWhere we are meant to rehearseOur Eternal Dance! And what is the price of my Divine Instruction?What could I ask of you? All I could ever wantIs thatYou have the priceless companyOf SomeoneWho can Kiss God, That you have the priceless giftOf becoming a servant to the Friend! Come to my window, dear world –Why ever be shy? Look inside my playful Verse,For Hafiz is Barefoot and DancingAnd in such a Grand and Generous –In such a Fantastic Mood.
