A Love Like That

A Love Like That - Hafiz

Even
After
All this time
The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe
Me."
Look
What happens
With a love like that.
It lights the
Whole
Sky.

Lovely - I haven't really read any Hafiz, although a Persian officemate did very kindly give me a book of his poems a few years ago. Unfortunately I was too busy proving things at the time to pay proper attention and they're currently stuck in the garage somewhere...

Love the snow pictures! Vancouver looks beautiful (if chilly).
