    All the Hemispheres

    All the Hemispheres

    Leave the familiar for a while.

    Let your senses and bodies stretch out

    Like a welcomed season

    Onto the meadows and shores and hills.

    Open up to the Roof.

    Make a new water-mark on your excitement

    And love.

    Like a blooming night flower,

    Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness

    And giving

    Upon our intimate assembly.

    Change rooms in your mind for a day.

    All the hemispheres in existence

    Lie beside an equator

    In your heart.

    Greet Yourself

    In your thousand other forms

    As you mount the hidden tide and travel

    Back home.

    All the hemispheres in heaven

    Are sitting around a fire

    Chatting

    While stitching themselves together

    Into the Great Circle inside of

    You.

    ~ Hafiz
