[Hafiz] This Place Where You Are Right Now

This place where you are right now

This place where you are right nowGod circled on a map for

you.Wherever your eyes and arms and heart can moveAgainst the earth

and sky,The Beloved has bowed there -Our beloved has bowed there

knowingYou were coming.I could tell you a priceless secret aboutYour

real worth, dear pilgrim,But any unkindness to yourself,Any confusion

about others,Will keep oneFrom accepting the grace, the love,The

sublime freedomDivine knowledge always offers to you.Never mind,

Hafiz, aboutThe great requirements this path demandsOf the

wayfarers,For your soul is too full of wine tonightTo withhold the

wondrous Truth from this world.But because I am so clever and

generous,I have already clearly woven a resplendent lockOf His

tressesAs a remarkable truth and giftIn this poem for you.
