In a Tree House~by 13th Century Persian Poet~Hafiz

Writer's picture: Liz SpitlerLiz Spitler

Light will someday split you open

even if your life is now a cage,


For a divine seed, the crown of destiny,

is hidden and sown on an ancient, fertile plain that you hold the title to.


Love will surely bust you wide open

into an unfettered, blooming new galaxy

A life-giving radiance will come,


O look again within yourself,

For I know you were once the elegant host to all the marvels in creation.


From a sacred crevice in your body,

a bow rises each night

and shoots your soul into God.


Behold the Beautiful One

from the vantage point of Love.


He is conducting the affairs

of the whole universe

in a tree house – on a limb

in your heart.
