Drops of light

Let us choose one another, as companions!
Let us sit at each other's feet!
Inwardly we have many harmonies-think not
That we are only what we see.



Ode 314:

Those who don't feel this Love
pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change, 
let them sleep. 
This Love is beyond the study of theology,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
I you want to improve your mind that way, 
sleep on. 
I've given up on my brain.
I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away. 
If you're not completely naked,
wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you, 
and sleep.
