Coffee and Rolls with God

Plant

So that your own heart

Will grow

Love

So God will think

“Ahhhh,

I got kin in that body!

I should start inviting that soul over

For coffee and

Rolls.”

                                Hafiz, The Gift, Trans. Ladinsky, p.330

ah let us plant in our souls

in that deep rich soul

that is

“the one who knows”

that is most surely

us

the seeds of love and hope

of compassion

and

empathy

for Sacred soil

holds Sacred seed

safe in its embrace

and bears

Sacred fruit
