Mystic Morning

This is how a mystic spends his day (Hafiz):

Slipping
On my shoes,
Boiling water,
Toasting bread,
Buttering the sky:
That should be enough contact
With Her in one day
To make anyone
Crazy.

Love makes every simple movement a cherished and celebrated event.  Waking with your lover, the unmade bed is rumpled like a queen’s velvet cape resting at her feet.  Opening up the door for the day’s fresh sun reminds me of galaxies I could have chosen.  But right here, right now, there is no place but Your Love breathing me.  The day dawns and my wedding feast awaits.
