Guest guest Posted May 27, 2002 Report Share Posted May 27, 2002 For Bobby G - who also paints light - with love, Gloria - Joseph Riley Hafiz A ROOT IN EACH ACTAND CREATURE The sun's eyes are painting fields again. Its lashes with expert strokesAre sweeping across the land. A great palette of light has embracedThis earth. Hafiz, if just a little clay and waterMixed in His bowlCan yield such exquisite scents, sights,Music - and whirling forms - What unspeakable wonders must await withThe commencement of unfoldingOf the infinite number of petalsThat are theSoul. What excitement will renew your bodyWhen we all begin to seeThat His heart resides inEverything? God has a root in each act and creatureThat He draws His mysteriousDivine life from. His eyes are painting fields again. The Beloved with His own hands is tending,Raising like a precious child,Himself inYou.
