I follow barefoot


.


.
I long for You so much
I follow barefoot Your frozen tracks
.
That are high in the mountains
That I know are years old.
.
I long for You so much 
I have even begun to travel
Where I have never been before.
.
Hafiz, there is no one in this world
Who is not looking for God.
.
Everyone is trudging along
With as much dignity, courage
And style
.
As they possibly 
Can.
