“Even after all this time, the Sun never says to the Earth
You owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that;
It lights up the whole sky.”
—Hafez, 14th century mystical Sufi poet from Persia
“Clouds come floating into my life,
No longer to carry rain or brings storms,
But to add color to my sunset sky.”
—Rabindranath Tagore
“I stand in silence, reaching with my eyes,
My God—you are beautifulI, love the way you fall
Softly losing space, I follow you down
As you paint the sky In your leaving
I wish we could so confidently follow our hearts
Leaving only ripples of light In our wake
My secret lover, I want you only for myself
How many times have I come here
With my sorrow, you lift me up in your fall
—Cindy Smith
