"i knew we would be friends"

and if i could explain why it were, i'd be the wiser for it... but i have no idea why or how poetry goes so deep. a chord was struck as i saw this poem, posted by c as a comment to another's post. again, a magical find:

I Knew We Would Be Friends
-Hafiz

As soon as you opened your mouth
And I heard your soft
Sounds,

I knew we would be
Friends.

The first time, dear pilgrim, I heard
You laugh,

I knew it would not take me long
To turn you back into
God.
