Hafiz on the Arc of Anger


I HAVE COME INTO THIS WORLD TO SEE THIS

I have come into this world to see this:
the sword drop from men's hands even at the height of their arc of anger
because we have finally realized there is just one flesh to wound
and it is His - the Christ's, our Beloved's.

I have come into this world to see this:
all creatures hold hands as we pass through this miraculous existence we share on the way to even a greater being of soul...

    Read the complete poem also, every word had a hallmark of amazing Hafiz, and how much we need to speak and talk about this magnanimity of our souls and minds towards a single cause God.

    How special to begin my day with visit from such poetically-minded friends.

    Dar Sahib: your comment itself IS a Poem. How beautiful to share from different parts of the globe this same recognition. I could say so much more someday :)
