Beschreibung
Hafiz (c.1325-1390) was a beloved Persian poet and mystic in the Sufi tradition. Admired by Goethe, Emerson, Garcia Lorca, among others.
And Johannes Brahms set his text to music.
You can find a lot of his poems on open sources.
In another poem Hafiz says: "I am a hole in a flute that the Christ's breath moves through, listen to this music." -
All the hemispheres
Leave the familiar for a while. Let your senses and bodies stretch out
like a welcomed season onto the meadows and shores and hills.
Open up to the Roof. Make a new water-mark on your excitement and love.
Like a blooming night flower, bestow your vital fragrance of happiness
and giving upon our intimate assembly.
Change rooms in your mind for a day. All the hemispheres in existence lie beside an equator in your heart.
Greet Yourself in your thousand other forms as you mount the hidden tide and travel back home.
All the hemispheres in heaven are sitting around a fire chatting,
while stitching themselves together into the Great Circle inside of
You.
