Listening,
Often a Lost
Art—Where,
Were we to
Practice It
as though
all who came
our way
Spoke a
Golden Truth
which only they were
Given That Day, and
That Day Only—
Perhaps
We Would Listen
at least, a little
More Closely.
In response, and inspired by a poem within the book, THE GIFT, Poems by HAFIZ, The Great Sufi Master, Translations by Daniel Ladinsky.
Now a song as well, though quite unusual, certainly not romantic like the artwork, but interesting non-the-less, at least I think so. : ). You may give a listen by following the link below if you wish. Thanks to Riffusion!

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.)
