Light Will Someday Split You Open
~Hafiz
Light will someday split you open
Even if your life is now a cage.
Little by little,
You will turn into stars.
Little by little,
You will turn into
The whole sweet, amorous Universe.
Love will surely burst you wide open
Into an unfettered, booming new galaxy.
You will become so free
In a wonderful, secret
And pure Love That flows
From a conscious, One-pointed, Infinite Light.
Even then, my dear,
The Beloved will have fulfilled
Just a fraction, Just a fraction!
Of a promise written upon your heart.
For a divine seed, the crown of destiny,
Is hidden and sown on an ancient, fertile plain
To which you hold title.
O look again within yourself,
For I know you were once the elegant host
To all the marvels in creation.
When your soul begins
To ever bloom and laugh
And spin in Eternal Ecstasy-
O little by little,
You will turn into God.
