Language of Birds: Etsy Treasury Inspiration

A beautiful poem by the Sufi poet Hafiz.

She Responded

The birds’ favorite songs

You do not hear,

For their most flamboyant music takes place

When their wings are stretched

Above the trees

And they are smoking the opium

Of pure freedom.

It is healthy for the prisoner

To have faith

That one day he will again move about

Wherever he wants,

Feel the wondrous grit of life–

Less structured,

Find all wounds, debts stamped canceled,

Paid.

I once asked a bird,

“How is it that you fly in this 

Gravity of darkness?”

She responded,

“Love lifts 

Me.”
