A Potted Plant~ *Hafiz-

I pull a sun from my coin purse each day.

And at night I let my pet the moon
Run freely into the sky meadow.

If I whistled,
She would turn her head and
look at me.

If I then waved my arms,
She would come back wagging a marvelous tail
Of stars.

There are always a few men like me
In this world

Who are house-sitting for God.
We share His royal duties:
I water each day a favorite
potted plant
Of his---
This Earth.
Ask the Friend for love.
Ask Him again.
Fpr I have learned that every heart will get
What it prays for
Most.
