This poem you may recognise. I always thought it was a quote, but no, it is a poem. Written by the Persian mystic poet Hafiz in the 14th century, and still going strong today.
Maybe it's the endearing simplicity of it: the simple telling of an essential truth, the simple illustration of a grand type of love we should all aspire to.
The Sun Never Says - Hafiz
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.
I would comment but this is so beautiful that I'm speechless!
ReplyDeleteI know! And while reading, the reader too gets 'light up' like the whole sky in the glow of its sentiments. Well I did anyway!
