I lay my wing as a bridge to you So that you can join me singing...by Hafiz

The Earth lifts its glass to the sun
And light–light is poured.

A bird comes and sits on a crystal rim
And from my forest cove I hear singing.

An emerald bird rises from inside me
And now sits upon the Beloved’s glass.

I have left that dark cave forever.
My body has blended with His.

I lay my wing as a bridge to you
So that you can join me singing.
