You Don’t Have to Act Crazy Anymore
Hafez
You Don’t Have to Act Crazy Anymore –
We all know you were good at that.
Now retire, my dear,
From all that hard work you do
Of bringing pain to your sweet eyes and heart.
Look in a clear mountain mirror –
See the Beautiful Ancient Warrior
And the Divine elements
You always carry inside
That infused this Universe with sacred Life
So long ago
And join you Eternally
With all Existence – with God!
From: I heard God Laughing – Renderings of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky
