Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Hafiz Speaks Sing to me of wine and love That mystical ecstacy Which pours down from God above, Speak less of world mystery For by mere logic alone Life's riddle remains unknown . Fill my soul with blood-red wine In this bowl of silver fine I have glimpsed the face divine. You who scorn eternal bliss, Come be touched by Love's fervent kiss. No need to beg for favours >From life and all it's savours, On the screen of Consciousness All's inscribed for Self to bless. The breeze blows through the garden Of my dear immortal friend, Carry my prayer for pardon To that One without an end . Let pearls of tears then softly fall There's the Bird of Union , I hear her call . Alan ______________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
