The Bag Lady Poem

I am the bag lady in every city, I have a spot on every street
-This first line gave me the idea that this lady may be a homeless woman who is constantly moving from one area to another living in every street basically

My sacks are full of holiness, So I have come to peddle, to touch your feet
-Her bags are full of sacred things and since peddle means going from place to place selling items, I assume that she walks around the cities begging, trying to sell the things that are in her bags to people

I give Myself,To Myself on rare occasions because I am so very shy
-Desperate for money, she probably sold herself to men to have sex just to suvive in the streets

Hafiz, the monarchs of this world, Are but slaves to thee, Since the Beloved took His seat, In your eye.
-I have no idea what this may mean???

I am the bag lady in every city. I am playing divine music in every world.
-She is known to be that "poor lady" roaming around the cities leaving traces of herself with people knowing who she is

My sacks are full of holiness. I am asking, May I please bow to you.
-She's pleading and begging for a person to buy her belongings that are filled with holiness inside her sack in return for money for herself.

May I please bow to you
-Living the streets alone, praying to God for what she is and how she lives.
