Dear Lilie,
Thank you. I love this.
My dreams will carry me through another door now to look for pearls within the pearls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Being's silver sea
lustrous pearls of knowledge are washed up
on the shore of speech,
and dainty shells bring poems in their curving forms to strew the beach with beauty.
Each wave that breaks in foaming arcs
casts up a thousand royal pearls
that hold strange, murmuring voices,
gems of devotion, joy, and love.
Yet tough a thousand waves
at every moment rise and fall,
scattering pearls and shells,
yet there are ever more and more to come,
nor is tat sea of Being less by one sheer drop.
~Mahmud Shabistari
