I cannot believe I have this day - To look for poems to read

"...Shipwrecked we just float, O favorable wind arise,
May we one more time gaze upon that familiar trait.
Passage of time and the stars, are but what we fantasize
For compassion and kindness, it is never too late.

...In the land of repute, our passage they will dispute
If this will not suit, don’t stay mute, and transmute dictates of fate.

When destitute and in need, let your love and passion breed
Life’s alchemy, essence and seed, unimagined wealth shall create..."
- Excerpt from Ghazal 5 by Hafiz



I was watching some positive videos and the narrator/author has read a passage from one of Hafiz's poems. It gave me this shock in my heart. So spiritually touched, I looked up "Hafiz" and here I am reading poems (that I despise and dislike always because I can't write poems and I can't understand poems before!) Though I can't say that I understand 100% of these poems, but I remember how one of my best friends pointed out - "Poems are not meant to be understand, they are to be feel."

I think I have falling in love with poetry suddenly.

"Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood."
