This song was inspired by the original poem by Hafiz:
With That Moon Language
admit something.
everyone you see, you say to them
"love me."
of course you do not do this out loud:
otherwise,
someone would call the cops.
still, though, think about this,
this great pull in us to connect.
why not become the one,
who lives with a full moon in each eye,
that is always saying,
with that sweet moon
language,
what every other eye in this world
is dying to
hear?
- Hafiz -
lyrics
My Beloved
Why not see the full moon in my eyes?
Why not see the full moon in my eyes?
Why not see, what you’ve been longing to see?
Why not hear, what you’ve been dying to hear?
My dear, My Beloved, My Beloved, My Beloved
I am like the full moon on the rise,
I am like the full moon on the rise,
Whisper words that only we can hear,
An ancient love song that’s ringing in my ears,
My dear, my Beloved, my Beloved, my Beloved
Silently whisper these words,
Pulling us closer to loving,
Loving you, loving me, loving in eternity,
My dear, my Beloved, my Beloved, my Beloved
So why not keep the full moon in your eyes?
Why not keep the full moon in your eyes?
Why not be what I’ve been longing to be?
Why not sing what I’ve been dying to hear?
My dear, my Beloved, my Beloved, my Beloved,
My Beloved, my Beloved.....
