Title: The Jeweler
Post by: Firestarter on December 10, 2009, 06:41:06 AM

If a naive and desperate man
Brings a precious stone
To the only jeweler in town,
Wanting to sell it,
The jeweler's eyes
Will begin to play a game,
Like most eyes in the world when they look at you.

The jeweler's face will stay calm.
He will not want to reveal the stone's true value.
But to hold the man captive to fear and greed
While he calculates
The value of the transaction.

But one moment with me, my dear,
Will show you that there is nothing, nothing Hafiz,
- wants from you.
When you sit before a Master like me,
Even if you are a drooling mess,
My eyes sting with Excitement
They see your Divine Worth.

~Hafiz
