Hafiz, translated by Daniel Ladinsky
Admit something:
Everyone you see, you say to them, "Love me."
Of course you do not do this out loud; otherwise,
someone would call the cops.
Still, though, think about this, this great pull in us
to connect.
Why not become the one who lives with a full moon
in each eye that is always saying,
with that sweet moon language,
what every other eye in this world is dying to hear?
What a charming poem and giddy notion!
ReplyDeleteHappy VD, dear 8!
"These are a few of my favorite things" why the lyric and tune popped in my head at the mention of (just) moon, I do not know. But yes, what e said. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes to this!
ReplyDeleteBwaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!! (the happy kind)
ReplyDeleteI love this! I think my version is that I tend to smile and do that little kid wave at just about everyone I come across, and I'm happy to report about 80% or more smile and save right back at me :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling and healing better every day
Love
