I have never left to return, only my face face was turned elswhere

Paradise is where my face was before I choose to turn it away.

Originally I have no eyes to see with, I only experience with DEVOTION.

There are no two for a river to be in between

Originally

 

 

I have never left

to return elsewhere

Paradise is where my face was

before I chose to turn it away

 

There is no one here to say anything,

be quiet and see

 

I have no eyes to see with

devotion is my experience,

there is no two

for a river to come in between

 

Only BE

and mountains are mountains

and the sky is the sky.

 

 

 

Nice poem! (A few minor changes for poetic effect)

Hello Anna

Thank you very much for your poeitic touch.

This reminds of the story of Shen-husi and Hui- Neng
