Hafiz has the answer! The Substance You Taste ----------------------- The sky-wheel turns us into dawn and fills creation again with color. Let it be our weakness, this thirst-love for the world, the sun coming up like red-gold being poured! The potter's wheel moves, and shapes change quickly. Let the jar I am becoming turn to a wine cup. Fill me with your love for being awake. I'm no hypocrite renunciate. Call me this delicious substance you taste when you create new beauty. Be strong, Hafiz! Work here inside time, where we fail, catch hold again, and climb. Hafiz Warm regards, Chittaranjan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
