Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 the followingr poem is my favorite zen poem.Although Idoubt Pablo Cuadra meant it that way. The Birth of the Sun By Pablo Antonio Cuadra I've invented new worlds. I've dreamt up nights constructed of ineffable substances. I've fabricated bright planets subtle stars all the while sitting with my eyes half-closed: But never will I come close to imagining what that day was like when our fathers first came out with their tribes came out of the jungle and looked east. They heard the growl of the jaguar birds sining and they saw a man rising whose face was burning a young man whose face was nothing but splendor whose stark glances dried the swamps A young man tall and shining whose head was on fire whose face lit up the world.

I've memorized it twice in the last 8 or 10 years and gone around for several weeks each time reciting it to myself.It must have had something to tell me.
