IT WAS BEAUTIFUL ONE NIGHT, Hafiz




IT WAS BEAUTIFUL ONE NIGHT

Hafiz

It was beautiful, it was so beautiful one night
we all began to expect God would speak

from the waves, reaching toward the millet
fields,

from the mouths of the hanging sky
ornaments crooning in light's infinite codes,

from the glances of children and plants
and hills playing with effulgent life.

It was beautiful, it was so beautiful one night
we all began to expect God to speak.


A Year With Hafiz
