On the Chalkboard March 17, 2008

While browsing the book of poetry, The Gift, the other evening, I came across the following:

I weave light into words so that
When your mind holds them

Your eyes will relinquish their sadness,
Turn bright, a little brighter, giving to us
The way a candles does
To the dark.

Hafiz, from the poem, I Rain
