Daily Contemplations

So I am reading a book, A Year With Hafiz, and once in a while (every day) I read something I have to share...

Becoming Your Face

Picture the face of your Beloved becoming your face.
And His body fitting on you like a coat you won't take off again.

Don't move so fast now, when such a rare kiss is being offered.
For what lips can really connect with a body wired to a mind that is darting about in a manic hurry?

From this new perspective, look inside the Heart you have sought so long to be near.
Try and go deep into it.
Is it not your own, and mine too?

If for a second all that you want was not just  radiating from your softened eye...
you best fire me, or maybe try Rumi, or read this again.
