Let us bless
The imagination of the Earth.
That knew early the patience
To harness the mind of time
My heart breaks for Notre-Dame de Paris

An Apple Tree Was Concerned- A Poem by Hafez
An apple tree was concerned
about a late frost and losing its gifts
that would help feed a poor family close by.
Can't the clouds be generous with what falls from them?
Can't the sun ration itself with precision?
They can speak, trees,
they can say the sweetest things
but it takes special ears to hear them,
ears that have listened to people
with great care.
