With That Moon Language
Admit something: Everyone you see, you say to them, 'Love me.'
Of course you do not say this out loud; otherwise someone would call the cops.
Still, though, think about this, this great pull in us to connect.
Why not become the one who lives with a full moon in each eye
that is always saying, with that sweet moon language,
what every other eye in this world is dying to hear?
- Hafiz, beautifully translated by Daniel Ladinsky in, 'A Year With Hafiz.'
