The heart cries

The

Heart is right to cry

Even when the smallest drop of light

Of love

Is taken away

Perhaps you may kick, moan, scream

In a dignified

Silence

But you are so right

To do so in any fashion

Until God returns

To

You

                                           Hafiz

=====================================

the heart

cannot help but cry

when Sacred love seems absent

it screams

most oft

in dignified silence

this cry of the heart

rending and tearing

the fabric of the soul

hidden behind

every day tasks

and genial exchanges

with people similarly torn

is the Sacred gone?

absent

no

the Sacred is always within

patiently waiting for us

to stop our

desperate protests

and notice

that this amazing

 Present One

had never

left

and taste

the smallest drop

of

love
