Deel 7: Tatoeage op arm
.
Tot nu toe misschien wel de vreemdste plek. Hier het gedicht waaruit de twee regels van de tatoeage zijn genomen:

Uit Ghazal 98 door Hafiz
.
.
The wind last night brought wind of my far-traveled love to me.
I, too, will give the wind my heart and what must be shall be.
.
It’s come to this: no confidante will hear my secrets save
Lightning at dusk and wind at dawn as I live ardently.
.
In your curls’ locks, not once did my defenseless heart recall
The home in me it left behind, but shunned the memory.
.
Today I treasure all advice of friends who warned of love.
Blessed are the advisers, Lord, for it is they who see.
.
Memory of you was my heart’s blood when wind came to unwind
The cord that closed the rosebud’s robe beneath our meadow tree.
.
My winded body felt death blow till a new dawn wind blew
Fresh hope for our reunion and returned my life to me.
