A Moment Of Happiness

A moment of happiness, you and I sitting on the verandah, apparently two, but one in soul, you and I. We feel the flowing water of life here, you and I, with the garden's beauty and the birds singing. The stars will be watching us, and we will show them what it is to be a thin crescent moon. You and I unselfed, will be together,

Autumn River Song

The moon shimmers in green water. White herons fly through the moonlight. The young man hears a girl gathering water-chestnuts: into the night, singing, they paddle home together. Li T'ai-po tr. Hamil

Again And Again

Again and again, however we know the landscape of love and the little churchyard there, with its sorrowing names, and the frighteningly silent abyss into which the others fall: again and again the two of us walk out together under the ancient trees, lie down again and again among the flowers, face to face with the sky.

Marriage

Then Almitra spoke again and said, 'And what of Marriage, master? ' And he answered saying: You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days. Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

Love One Another

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Ballad Of Human Life

When we were girl and boy together, We toss'd about the flowers And wreath'd the blushing hours Into a posy green and sweet. I sought the youngest, best, And never was at rest Till I had laid them at thy fairy feet. But the days of childhood they were fleet, And the blooming sweet-briar-breath'd weather, When we were boy and girl together.

A Girl's Autumn Reverie

We plucked a red rose, you and I All in the summer weather; Sweet its perfume and rare its bloom, Enjoyed by us together. The rose is dead, the summer fled, And bleak winds are complaining; We dwell apart, but in each heart We find the thorn remaining.

Chapter 9 - The Seven Selves

In the stillest hour of the night, as I lay half asleep, my seven selves sat together and thus conversed in whisper: First Self: Here, in this madman, I have dwelt all these years, with naught to do but renew his pain by day and recreate his sorrow by night. I can bear my fate no longer, and now I rebel. Second Self: Yours is a better lot than mine, brother, for it is given to me to be this madman's joyous self. I laugh his laughter and sing his happy hours, and with thrice winged feet I dance his brighter thoughts. It is I that would rebel against my weary existence.

There Was An Old Person Of Nice

There was an old person of Nice, Whose associates were usually Geese. They walked out together, in all sorts of weather. That affable person of Nice!

We Go Out Together In The Staring Town

We go out together into the staring town And buy cheese and bread and little jugs with flowered labels Everywhere is a tent where we put on our whirling show A great deal has been said of the handless serpents Which war has set loose in the gay milk of our heads

One Lonely Afternoon

Since the fern can't go to the sink for a drink of water, I graciously submit myself to the task, bringing two glasses from the sink. And so we sit, the fern and I, sipping water together. Of course I'm more complex than a fern, full of deep thoughts as I am. But I lay this aside for the easy company of an afternoon friendship.

Loneliness

Loneliness like a good, old friend visits my house to pour wine in the evening. And we sit together, waiting for the moon, and for your face to sparkle in every shadow.

When If Meets Must

To A Young Poet

Time cannot break the bird's wing from the bird. Bird and wing together Go down, one feather. No thing that ever flew, Not the lark, not you, Can die as others do.

Prayer

Close all open things, Lord. Open all closed things. All those who have long received, let them give. All those who have long given, let them receive. All those too long apart, let them come together. All those too long together, sunder them. Let the wise be fools for once, Lord, And let the fools speak their minds.
