LOVE SONG
by Hafiz
translated by Daniel Ladinsky

I taste what you taste. I know the kind of lyrics your
Soul most likes. I know which sounds will become
Resplendent in your mind and bring such pleasure
Your feet will jump and whirl.

I have no use for divine patience -- my lips are always
Burning and everywhere. I am running from every corner
Of this world and sky wanting to kiss you.

I am rioting at your door;
I am spinning in midair like golden falling leaves
Trying to win your glance.

I am sweetly rolling against your walls and shores
All night, even though you are asleep. I am singing from
The mouths of animals and birds. . . to let
you know the Beautiful Truth.
-Hafiz

Also, a new issue of Blue Eyes Magazine.

hi andrea -- i was listening to the indigo girls' new cd today (all that we let in) and heard something on one of the tracks that made me think of you -- "you may not see it when it's sticking to your skin, but we're better off for all that we let in." i know this little bit of song lyric probably doesn't comfort you much -- but hopefully the fact that you are in my thoughts and prayers every day will, if only a teeny tiny bit. many hugs, jenn
