to my dear friend randy, a sunrise

sunrise from my classroom, october 2008


today, i have no words. instead, i offer those of another to describe my journey towards resolution and perseverance.



Act Great

What is the key
To untie the knot of your mind's suffering?

What
Is the esoteric secret
To slay the crazed one whom each of us
Did wed

And who can ruin
Our heart's and eye's exquisite tender
Landscape?

Hafiz has found
Two emerald words that
Restored
Me

That I now cling to as I would sacred
Tresses of my Beloved's
Hair:

Act great.
My dear, always act great.

What is the key
To untie the knot of the mind's suffering?

Benevolent thought, sound
And movement.

Hafiz, The Gift
