It Happens All The Time in Heaven

It happens all the time in heaven,
And some day
It will begin to happen
Again on earth –
That men and women who are married,
And men and men who are
Lovers,
And women and women
Who give each other
Light,
Often will get down on their knees
And while so tenderly
Holding their lover’s hand,
With tears in their eyes,
Will sincerely speak, saying,
“My dear,
How can I be more loving to you;
How can I be more
Kind?”
–Hafiz

Is this not one of the most perfect Sufi poems of love ever? Hafiz was born in 1390, imagine that so many people today still do not understand love.

Have a great weekend!
