What Happens
~
What happens when your soul

Begins to awaken

Your eyes

And your heart

And the cells of your body

To the great Journey of Love?
First there is wonderful laughter

And probably precious tears
And a hundred sweet promises

And those heroic vows

No one can ever keep.
But still God is delighted and amused

You once tried to be a saint.
What happens when your soul

Begins to awake in this world
To our deep need to love

And serve the Friend?
O the Beloved

Will send you One of His wonderful, wild companions –
Like Hafiz.
