THE FISH AND I WILL CHAT

Once 
In a while
The fish and I will chat
In the silent
Language:
We look
Into each other’s eyes and smile,
And they often
Say,
“Hey Hafiz
We see you know the joy of 
Our existence,
We see you have discovered how meditation
Can free you from land,
Mind, debts, alimony–the 
Whole works,
And like
Us
Let you carouse all day 
In
God.”

From: “The Gift”
Translated by Daniel Ladinsky
