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, translated by Daniel Ladinsky
