From the recording THE BREEZE OF LOVE (Vol 1 & 2)
Lyrics
FORGIVE THE DREAM
Words from HAFIZ ~ Sufi Mystic
Translation by Daniel Ladinsky from ‘The Gift’
Music by Georgia Carr
All your images of winter
I see against your sky
I understand the wounds
That have not healed in you
They exist because God and love
Have yet to become real enough
To allow you to forgive the dream
I will spread a Persian carpet
woven with light
We can drink wine from a gourd
I hollowed and dried
on the my roof of my house
Hafiz will bring you bread I have kneaded
That contains my own divine genes
My love for the Beloved
Is such you can just lean back
And I will feed you this truth:
Your wounds of love can only heal,
When you can forgive this dream.
Our wounds of love can only heal
When we can forgive this dream.
