The God Who Only Knows Four Words

[dragonyphoenix]

Every child has known God,
Not the God of names,
Not the God of don’ts,
Not the God who ever does anything weird,
But the God who knows only four words
And keeps repeating them, saying:

“Come dance with Me,
come dance.”

-Hafiz, 14th C. Persia (translated by Daniel Ladinsky)
