You, I, and God

[Eva Libre]

"I want both of us
to start talking about
this great love -

As if
you, I, and the Sun
were all married
and living in a tiny room,
helping each other to cook,
do the wash,
weave and sew,
care for our beautiful
animals.

We all leave each morning
To labor on the earth's field.
No one does not lift a great pack.

I want both of us to start singing
like two travelling minstrels
about this extraordinary existence,
we share.

As if
You, I, and God
were all married,
and living
in a tiny
room."

Hafiz Shirazi
