A Tethered Falcon - poetry by Hafiz, Music by Tim Janis
"This poem describes the longing of the heart, what the soul desires and strives to know when in human form. Flying has always been considered the ultimate freedom which we humans most envy in birds. If we are the falcon is God not the falconer? The tether a Divine "golden cord?" I wish more people were familiar with the poems of Hafiz. They are unique"
