Admit Something!

What could be better than stumbling upon Hafiz while reading Greg Boyle? Umm, nothing?


Admit something:

Everyone you see, you say to them, “love me.”

Of course you do not do this out loud;
Otherwise,
Someone would call the cops.

Still though, think about this,
This great pull in us to connect.

Why not become the one
Who lives with a full moon in each eye
That is always saying,
With that sweet moon
Language,
What every other eye in this world
Is dying to
Hear.
