Remember the truth that you are

[Guest guest]

I keep weeping for you, my soul,

good sir, gently trying to let you

see the nature of what you love.

 

Not even the shadow

of an iron anchor

will last from here.

 

Remember the truth

that you are.

 

- Lalla

14th Century North Indian mystic
