Why All This Talk

 

 

Why all this talk of the Beloved,

Music and dancing,

 

And

Liquid ruby-light we can lift in a cup?

 

Because it is low tide,

A very low tide in this age

And around most hearts.

 

We are exquisite coral reefs,

Dying when exposed to strange

Elements.

 

God is the wine-ocean we crave -

We miss

 

Flowing in and out of our

Pores.

 

 

("The Subject Tonight is Love" - versions of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky)
