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.  --Hafez
