A Tethered Falcon By Hafiz: Inspirational Sunday Video

February 7th, 2010

This is astounding and beautiful and inspirational, all the things I look for for this feature. It is made extraordinary by the fact that my finding this, this morning, on my YouTube suggestions list, and that it was the first one I opened, answered my ask for a sign that I made a connection this morning during my meditation.

So this is special on so many levels.

Let it open your heart this Sunday.

Here is the Poem:

A Tethered Falcon

My heart sits on the Arm of God
Like a tethered falcon
Suddenly unhooded.

I am now blessedly crazed
Because my Master’s Astounding Effulgence
Is in constant view.

My piercing eyes,
Which have searched every world
For Tenderness and Love,
Now lock on the Royal Target–
The Wild Holy One
Whose Beauty Illuminates Existence.

My soul endures a magnificent longing.

I am a tethered falcon
With great wings and sharp talons poised,
Every sinew taut, like a Sacred Bow,
Quivering at the edge of my Self
And Eternal Freedom,

Though still held in check By a miraculous
Divine Golden Cord.

Beloved, I am waiting for You to free me
Into Your Mind
And Infinite Being.
I am pleading in an absolute helplessness
To hear, finally, your Words of Grace:
Fly! Fly into Me!

This Sunday say your gratitude for your family and your friends.

With Love Nick
