THE ROOTLESS GRASS <br /> <br />There’s no soil to settle <br />nor the water to drink <br />nor the air to breath <br />for the times you roam <br />in the continent of passion and despair <br /> <br />You are the dust of the road <br />a sigh of the passage <br />being blown up by the soundless wind <br />of indifference <br /> <br />You fall down to a shore <br />where the unknown gathers and departs <br />towards the horizon <br />of sinful hope <br />(Tadanori Tanigawa) <br /> <br />O outward stranger, you are part of all <br />Why are you heedless of all? <br />o part come! <br />do not be heedless of the whole <br />become aware and come to know all <br />(Shams al-Din Tabrizi) <br /> <br />In the continent of passion and despair <br />being blown up by the soundless wind <br />where the unknown gathers and departs <br />O outward stranger, you are part of all <br />(Yahya) <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />And the light shineth in darkness; <br />and the darkness comprehended it not<br /><br />HOWLIN' DERVISH<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-grass-2/
