I Have Learned So Much

I
Have
Learned
So much from God
That I can no longer
Call
Myself

A Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim
A Buddhist, a Jew.

The truth has shared so much of Itself
With me

That I can no lomger call myself
A man, a woman, an angel,
Or even pure
Soul.

Love has
Befriended Hafez so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed
Me

Of every concept and image
My mind has ever known.

-I Have Learned so Much by Iranian poet and master, Hafez
