Busy, Busy Busy

Hafiz came to my office today

and asked me 

if I knew how to Twirl

I laughed and said,

"I am very busy, Hafiz,

I have a business to run

and people to serve"

Perhaps I'll see you tonight

He just sighed and walked away,

muttering under his breath,

"too busy, too busy, too busy for God...

busy,busy,busy"

Later on that evening,

I found him

on a hilltop

overlooking the sea

 dancing ecstatically

twirling

in a Field of wildflowers

Hafiz, I said ,

It's time to go home now,

it will be dark soon

He laughed

 intoxicated

and looked me

 right in the  eye

Crazy Boy, This, THIS IS  my home

dancing and singing 

in the fields with my beloved

spinning around 

 I remember her love

and she fills me with her nectar

Then  he got up and staggered towards me

and grabbed my fine dress shirt

"Crazy Boy,

you serve so many,

but you also have to serve

the Friend

and if you don't steal her away

from the house of rubies

your life is just an empty shell..

Now leave me be

while I twirl...

under the moonlight

with my beloved...

hmmm...

Busy, Busy,Busy..."
