Moon Language

With That Moon Language
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?

  4. I 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 :-)

    Hope you are feeling and healing better every day

    Love
