The Moon's Question to Hafiz

The Moon's Question to Hafiz
©2016 Karla Johnston, InnerConstellation.com

"Is it true that our destiny

Is to turn into Light

Itself?" *

Moon, Faithful Lover,

You continuously scour, then fill

With pure effulgence 

This awe-struck heart to the brim.

Your love-making is simple: 

Sit close,

Be still,

For any surface, once saturated with Light

Cannot help but overflow

with brilliance. 

*lines from Hafiz’s poem, “Faithful Lover”
