The Caravan (for Nick)

It is believed that friends and family stay together through lifetimes, traveling God’s realms in “caravans.”

The travelers have passed you by

Singing and dancing their way to

Paradise

They have waved

Come join!

Don’t turn away

Sip a little Hafiz each night

Before pulling the starry shroud

Over your sleep

Then come

Banging your drum

And join our saintly caravan
