Become Friends with the World

More about Become Friends with the World

Become Friends
with the world
no matter how
it sways—
Give all
equal measure
every moment
every day—
Allow all
to sound out
have no doubt
all is part
of the whole
one small breath
the greatest clamour
a hammer
a whisper
but if you
yourself
wish
to make a
difference
like the gentle rays
of sunshine
look and give
as you live
love upon that
which you
are seeing
believing
in their healing
give love
and compassion
waves and waves
do not ration
in any fashion
these waves
that may be
sung like a song
by one, by all
become
friends
with the world,

In response, and inspired by a poem within the book, THE GIFT, Poems by HAFIZ, The Great Sufi Master, Translations by Daniel Ladinsky.

Certainly not to say I am a master or even an apprentice in any way of poetry or mystical insight—all is simply a creative endeavor to see what my own mind and heart may say of the poem, to try and put it into my own words, or simply to respond to the ideas set forth by HAFIZ, and translated by Daniel.

(My apologies, this footnote will be repeated as I intend, at least presently, to continue in this mode for awhile. I am quite curious how AI will interpret things and how I may work and play, tweek words and such to perhaps change the direction AI is taking, in the end, hopefully to make a dream worthwhile sharing.)

(poem my own) Now, Thanks to Riffusion, there is a song as well—if you wish to give a listen, follow the link below : )
