Heed Hafiz

Heed Hafiz                                                                                               

My dear, the fault lies in your own
incapacity to understand him. – Hafiz

No, never wrong is the Master,
until His truth touches my ears

too unwieldy and unfathomable
for language and meaning to bear.

So I cautiously heed Hafiz, 
my faith and allegiance

pledged to the silent Godman
but only tentatively and tangentially

to His words of which I have
no true capacity or authority to comprehend. 

O child of God, by what possible measure can you
presume to know what God is talking about?
