ELEPHANT WONDERING
~ Hafiz

A seed
Has sprouted beneath a golden leaf
In a dark forest.

This seed is seriously contemplating,
Seriously wondering about
The moseying habits
Of the Elephant.

Why?

Because
In this lucid, wine-drenched tale
The Elephant is really –
God,

Who has His big foot upon us,
Upon the golden leaf under which lies
This sprouting
Universe

Wherein
We are all a little concerned
And
Nervous.
