Please enjoy this poem by the 14th-century mystic, Hafiz.
And For No Reason
And
for no reason
I start skipping like a child.
And
for no reason
I turn into a leaf
that is carried so high
I kiss the Sun’s mouth
and dissolve.
And for no reason
a thousand birds
choose my head for a conference table,
start passing their
cups of wine
and their wild songbooks all around.
And for every reason in existence
I begin to eternally,
to eternally laugh and love!
When I turn into a leaf
and start dancing,
I run to kiss our beautiful Friend
and I dissolve in the Truth
that I am.
Glory, Glory, Glory!
Love this poem..Thank you for posting it!
Very lovely Leslie!
Sweeeeeeet! thanks for sharing.
And
for no reason
is effortless effort
made manifest.
And
for no reason
through *centering*
in the Beloved
is bliss
personified.
And for every reason
allowed
I Am
merges
more purposefully
in His Nam.
PS – Thanks Leslie for the delicately nurturing imagery.
