When I first began to love God
I thought I’d fallen in the ocean
But I was only on the beach
then I entered the water
and was thrown back on shoreAnd then washed again into the waves
God, why did I want this love?
And what is this back-and-forth?— Hafiz, a 15th century Sufi poet

And the sea pulled back its waves
And left the banks deserted
And the pearls cracking ‘neath the sun
But inevitable as it is…
The sea will cast forth its watery waves
And make of the sand the abode of colours
And each perfect tree will let down its fruits
And raise its branches to share with the breeze the news
And you know well where the breeze blows
All around the worlds
