Hafiz

in shades of blue (if this image is yours let me know and i'll link!)




My Brilliant Image

One day the sun admitted

I am just a shadow

I wish I could show you
The infinite incandescence
That has cast my brilliant image

I wish I could show you
When you are lonely or in darkness

The astonishing light
Of your own being

Hafiz


C. Daniel Ladinsky 1999
