The Someone Who Hides Inside You
There is a Beautiful Creature
Living in a hole you have dug.
So at night
I set fruit and grains
And little pots of wine and milk
Beside your soft earthen mounds,
And I often sing.
But still, my dear,
You do not come out.
I have fallen in love with Someone
Who hides inside you.
We should talk about this problem—
Otherwise,
I will never leave you alone.
~Hafiz, from I Heard God Laughing

Know today that you are Beautiful.
Know today that you are Someone.
Know today that you are Loved.
Peace to you,
or follow Living Happiness on Facebook.
I’ll make you a deal:
I’ll know them…if you will.
Love always,
Jay
The last are words that need to be remembered and felt!

@Aileen: You’re welcome, Aileen. I thought they were beautiful too.
@Lance: Thank you, Lance. The same right back at you.
Carla,
“I have fallen in love with Someone Who hides inside you. We should talk about this problem.” There’s such a combination of sadness and compassion in that statement. Enough to encourage that person who’s hiding to show themselves. Loved this
Carla,
I love Hafiz! Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem with us. I just retweeted it!

Carla — What a beautiful poem! I also think your closing lines are ones that I will put on my bathroom mirror. I sometimes put sticky note affirmations there so I can read them. These are wonderful to read and re-read.
I love your gentle spirit. It always shines, like the candle in photo, and lights up any darkness in my day…thank you:~)

@Davina: The first time I read this poem, Davina, I cried for that very reason. Isn’t it lovely?
@Angela: I love Hafiz, too. His style is so very similar to how I know Spirit and how He talks to me; it meets me at a very elemental level. Thank you so much, too, for the retweet. You rock, woman!
@Sara: Thank you, Sara. On what has been a rough day, your words of kindness washed over my heart like a soothing stream. Thank you so much.
I’m glad you like the poem, too, and the message of it. Maybe I too should write these final lines on my bathroom mirror …
Beautiful photo, beautiful words!
There is much energy in your post and your reader comments. May you receive into your life the beauty, the joy that you have generously shared here. *You* are beautiful, *you* are someone, *you* are loved….
Thank you, Joy. I’m so glad you stopped by today … and so glad you enjoyed the poem. I will look forward to seeing you again. Enjoy your weekend.
