I wish I could speak like music

I wish I could speak like music.  I wish I could put

the swaying splendor of fields into words so that

you could hold Truth against your body and dance.

I am trying the best I can with this crude brush, 

the tongue, to cover you with light.  I wish I could

speak like divine music.  I want to give you the

sublime rhythms of this earth and sky's limbs

as they joyously spin and surrender, surrender

against God's luminous breath.  Hafiz wants you

to hold me against your precious body and dance, 

dance.
