The God Who Only Knows Four Words
Every
Child
Has known God,
Not the God of names,
Not the God of don’ts,
Not the God who ever does
Anything weird,
But the God who only knows four words
And keeps repeating them, saying:
“Come dance with Me.”
Come
Dance.
- Hafiz (translated by Daniel Ladinsky in The Subject Tonight is Love: Sixty Wild and Sweet Poems of Hafiz)
[...] It reminds me of a poem by Hafiz: The God Who Only Knows Four Words [...]

‘The dance is but a horizontal expression of a vertical desire’
Bernard Shaw
‘It’s the power of sound and how that sound can bring you back to memory, to a space in yourself which is above the here and now’
