Old Sweet Beggar

A favorite poem of Rahima's by the mystic poet Hafiz.

This
Path to God
Made me such an old sweet beggar.

I was starving until one night
My love tricked God Himself
To fall into my bowl.

Now Hafiz is infinitely rich,
But all I ever want to do

Is keep emptying out
My emerald filled
Pockets

Upon
This tear stained.
World.

                                  ~Hafiz
