Allspirit Poetry

Selections from the spiritual poetry of Hafiz

laughing at the word two

                    Only 

           That Illumined 
                     One 

              Who keeps 
Seducing the formless into form

      Had the charm to win my 
                  Heart. 

         Only a Perfect One

            Who is always 
       Laughing at the word  
               Two 

       Can make you know 

                    Of 

                   Love.
