Why Abstain?

Red roses and Hafiz poems always bring me back to life...

Why

Abstain from love

When like the beautiful snow goose

Someday your soul

Will leave this summer

Camp

Why

Abstain from happiness

When like a skilled lion

Your heart is

Nearing

And

Will someday see

The divine prey is

Always

Near
