A Root In Each Creature and Act
The Sun's eyes are painting fields again.
Its lashes with expert strokes
Are sweeping across the land.
A great palate of light has embraced
This earth.
Hafiz, if just a little clay and water
Mixed in His bowl
Can yield such exquisite scents, sights
Music-and whirling forms-
What unspeakable wonders must await with
The commencement of unfolding
Of the infinite number of petals
That are the
Soul.
What excitement will renew your body
When w all begin to see
That His Heart resides in Everything?
God has a root in each act and creature
That He draws His mysterious divine life from.
His eyes are painting fields again.
The Beloved with his own hands is tending
Raising like a precious child
Himself in You.
