Angel Longing

Hafiz says:
Even
After
All this time
The sun never says to Earth,
"You owe Me."

Look what happens with a love like that,
It lights the
Whole
Sky

I say:
This is how I long to love.
Not with apology.
or trade offs.
I long to love with gifts nurtured and nourished from the limitless elongated self.

I long to love,
The way the sun kisses the Earth with light.
The way the earth recieves this spectral caress and
Gifts it back to the sun with flowers.

This is how I long
to love...
