A Great Need


A Great Need

Out
Of a great need
We are all holding hands
And climbing.
Not loving is letting go.
Listen,
The terrain around here
Is
Far too
Dangerous
For
That.

Hafiz

Would it not be wonderful if we all held to this observation/lesson? A little humor here too! Hafiz is a 14th c. Persian poet where his presence is remains felt and loved. This is one of my absolute favorite poems.
