At some point
Your relationship with God
Will become like this:
Next time you meet Him
Next time you meet Him
In the forest
Or on a crowded city street,
There won't be anymore
There won't be anymore
"Leaving."
That is,
That is,
God will climb into
Your pocket.
And you will simply
And you will simply
Take yourself
Along.
*from The Gift (1999), poetry ascribed to Hafez, as freely interpreted by Daniel Ladinsky.
