Some Fill With Each Good Rain – Hafez (The Divan)

by atoosa-kourosh

There are different wells in your heart. Some fill with each good rain, Others are far too deep for that. In one well You have just a few precious cups of water, That ‘love’ is literally something of yourself, It can grow as slow as a diamond If it is lost. Your love Should never be offered to the mouth of a stranger, Only to someone Who has the valor and daring To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife Then weave them in a blanket to protect you. There are different wells within us. Some fill with each good rain, Others are far, far too deep for that.
