Where do

[Guest guest]

Where do hearts meet in the meeting of God's mind?

Are thoughts different, is there a separate reality?

Can you be different than I think you are?

Is love processed in any difference?

Do we feel the same, exactly the same?

Does love feel different?

Is God's Mind All There Is?

Is All There Is My Mind in God?

sunrise sets in one part of the world

and the morning breaks, as a new day

over the sky

what birds wing in your horizons

what greenness slides on your landscapes

what colors grace your painted flowers

are your lands barren and parched scorched hot

or iced breaths of frozen air suspension

are your fields vast as the eye can see

or do orchids and medicine hang from the canopy

katmanjou dreaming, cherry mountains in islands and oceans

ah, warm breeze, ah, cool breeze, ah, ice breeze, ah, fire breeze

just like that

green green grasses and enchanted moors

do faiyres dance in hollows beneath the moon?

and just how high is your sky?

and how do you speak your Words?

what dialect? lilting singing, gutteral, hard, throat singing,

proper, drawled, or high and low keyed, or in signs and

undeciphered whispers, how high is the Tower of Babel?

and did you understand that? and what are your rites of

passage, where do your blood marks show or are they

hidden in your children? how far do you have to go to

jump? Have you tried parasailing?, and how do you

honor your parents? do you have a ceremony to

wash their bones or put them in old folks homes?

imagine that

so how do you love one another just where you live

up the street, around my corner, in another

part of the world, eh? Do you wait for

God to save you when you wouldn't save another

if he were drowning? and what part of "father forgive

them for they know not what they do" don't you

understand? And it seems that the problem is resolving

in the Holy Land, hmmm, appropriately, I think

Christian, Jew, Moslem ,

another Trinity,

and the beat goes on, what music do you listen to?

what dancing dances you? or is it disallowed

in your religious apprehensions?

 

I dance all Dances

I sing all Songs

I hear all words, even the low tones

I am Nothing

If I am Not You

 

this morning I am listening to

Nasrat Fateh Ali Khan

& Michael Brook

 

Night Song
