POEMS BY HAFIZ THE GREAT SUFI MASTER
An Iranian Poet Has Lifted My Soul Forever
_______________
I Have Learned So Much
I
Have
Learned
So Much from God
That I can no longer
Call Myself
A Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim,
A Buddhist, a Jew.
The Truth has shared so much of Itself
with me
That I can no longer call myself
A man, a woman, an angel,
Or even pure
Soul.
Love has
Befriended Hafiz so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed
Me
Of every concept and image
My mind has ever known.
