Sheep

“In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep,
one must above all be a sheep oneself.”

Walking Around

"Is it logical you would be walking around
entirely orphaned now?
Truth is you turned away yourself,
and decided to go into the dark alone.

Now you are tangled up in others,
and have forgotten what once you knew,
and that is why everything you do
has some sort of weird failure in it."

---Kabir Das---

Horizon

"The rain has held back
for days and days, my God
In my arid heart
The horizon is fiercely naked-
not the thinnest cover of a soft cloud,
not the vaguest hint of a distant cool shower!!

Send your angry storm, dark with death,
if it is your wish
and with lashes of lightning
startle the sky from end to end.

But call back, my lord,
call back this pervading silence
still keen and cruel,
burning the heart with dire despair"
