lighter than a bird

my heart feels lighter than a bird today, burning with love for the world outside (and in). perhaps this you can understand - there are no loose ends to tie anymore. today i am reborn with clear eyes, and a glorious and unceasing love for all things great and small. and hafiz, that great soul who has understood every other, speaks to my mind in these words:

All
The craziness,
All the empty plots,
All the ghosts and fears,

All the grudges and sorrows have
Now
Passed.

I must have inhaled
A strange
Feather

That finally

Fell

Out.
