Like this.<br /><br />when someone asks what it means<br />to “die for love,” point<br />here.<br /><br />if someone asks how tall I am, frown<br />and measure with your fingers the space<br />between the creases on your forehead.<br /><br />this tall.<br /><br />the soul sometimes leaves the body, the returns.<br />when someone doesn’t believe that,<br />walk back into my house.<br /><br />like this.<br /><br />when lovers moan,<br />they’re telling our story.<br /><br />like this.<br /><br />I am a sky where spirits live.<br />stare into this deepening blue,<br />while the breeze says a secret.<br /><br />like this.<br /><br />when someone asks what there is to do,<br />light the candle in his hand.<br /><br />like this.<br /><br />how did Joseph’s scent come to Jacob?<br />Huuuuu.<br />how did Jacob’s sight return?<br />Huuuu.<br />a little wind cleans the eyes.<br /><br />like this.<br /><br />when Shams comes back from Tabriz,<br />he’ll put just his head around the edge<br />of the door to surprise us <br /><br />like this.Wonji Dharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14388857704848706296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5332621749875803444.post-52687818042792173602009-08-10T00:17:33.721-04:002009-08-10T00:17:33.721-04:00Thank you James.
Funny but I've been feeling...Thank you James. <br /><br />Funny but I've been feeling at a loss for something insightful to come into my mind to write about. Suddenly this morning I decided to just pay attention and note what was going on and write it down without over-thinking it so here it is. <br /><br />Great metaphor for life, I'd say.Ven.

You used such great imagery to convey to us that one present moment.
