A
Suspended Blue Ocean
The
sky
Is a
suspended blue ocean.
The
stars are the fish
That
swim.
The
planets are the white whales
I
sometimes hitch a ride on,
And
the sun and all light
Have
forever fused themselves
Into
my heart and upon
My
skin.
There
is only one rule
On
this Wild Playground,
For
every sign Hafiz has ever seen
Reads
the same.
They
all say,
"Have fun, my dear; my dear, have
fun,
In the
Beloved's Divine
Game,
O, in
the Beloved's
Wonderful
Game."
