THE MORNING POEM
Laughter is God Waking Up.

Laughter?
What is laughter?
What is laughter?
It is God waking up.
Oh, it is God waking up.
It is the sun poking its sweet head out from behind a cloud you have been carrying too long.
Veiling your eyes and heart, it is light breaking ground for a great structure that is your real body.
called truth.
It is happiness applauding itself and then taking flight to embrace everyone and
everything in this world.
Laughter is the pole star held in the sky by our beloved who eternally says,
yes,
dear ones,
come this way.
Come this way toward me and love.
Hafiz.
