Something... refreshing

All the Hemispheres (Hafez)

by Paulo Coelho on August 26, 2010

Leave the familiar for a while.
Let your senses and bodies stretch out


Like a welcomed season
Onto the meadows and shores and hills.

Open up to the Roof.
Make a new water-mark on your excitement
And love.

Like a blooming night flower,
Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness
And giving
Upon our intimate assembly.

Change rooms in your mind for a day.

All the hemispheres in existence
Lie beside an equator
In your heart.

Greet Yourself
In your thousand other forms
As you mount the hidden tide and travel
Back home.

All the hemispheres in heaven
Are sitting around a fire
Chatting

While stitching themselves together
Into the Great Circle inside of
You.

I simply love this poem. This poem has the feeling that I thrive for - a free, out of word refreshing feeling. A breeze trough the heart, that makes You smile. Thank You...
