COULD BE LIFTED

If you knew the end of your story, nothing on
any page--not one of your dramas, could bother
you as much.

If you knew the glorious end of your journey,
at least half of your attention could be lifted
from anything you can now focus on that may
cause you pain.

His hand is like that, when it is realized near,
it will always turn your gaze in the direction 
of more light. 

-Hafiz (translation by Daniel Ladinsky)
