Words that speak to me... without barriers or definition...
Excerpts from: The Gift poems by Hafiz the great Sufi Master
"What we speak becomes the house we live in."
"Love so God will think, 'Ahhhhh, I got kin in that body!"
"My dear, let prayer become your beautiful lover and become free, Become free of this whole world..."
"At least take care of that holy infant my heart has become...but then I remember they too have a long list of love-complaints because they also know you so well."
"Dear ones, use your own storytelling abilities to end this tale in a way that will most uplift your heart."
"The earth braces itself for the feet of a lover of God about to dance."
"We are people who need to love, because love is the soul's life, love is simply creation's greatest joy."
"For we have not come here to take prisoners or to confine our wondrous spirits, but to experience ever and ever more deeply our divine courage, freedom, and light!"
I could do this all day so let me leave you with one full simple poem from the great master...
Title: This Sky
This
Sky
Where we live
Is no place to lose your wings
So love, love
Love.
I hope you have been inspired as well, and I encourage you to read Hafiz. He will stretch your view of God in so many ways. Watch and see how the Lord uses whatever He may to pursue you and the beautiful creation He made.
