The Astonishing Light

One day the sun admitted

I am just a shadow.

I wish I could show you

The Infinite Incandescence

That has cast my brilliant image!

I wish I could show you

When you are lonely or in darkness

The Astonishing Light

Of your own Being!

Hafiz

A love like that

Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth 
"You owe me".

Look what happens with a love like that,

It lights the whole sky.
