Some Fill With Each Good Rain

It is pouring outside.

The sound of the rain is beckoning me to sleep...

Some Fill With Each Good Rain

Hafiz of Shiraz – Persian Poet 1315-1390

There are different wells within 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 into a blanket
To protect you.

There are different wells within us.

Some fill with each good rain,

Others far, far too deep

For that.
