A CRYSTAL
RIM
The
Earth
Lifts its glass to the sun
And light - light
Is poured.
Earth
Lifts its glass to the sun
And light - light
Is poured.
A
bird
Comes and sits on a crystal rim
And from my forest cave I
Hear singing.
Comes and sits on a crystal rim
And from my forest cave I
Hear singing.
So I run to
the edge of existence
And join my soul in love.
And join my soul in love.
I lift my
heart to God
And grace is poured.
And grace is poured.
An emerald
bird rises from inside me
And now sits
Upon the Beloved's
Glass.
And now sits
Upon the Beloved's
Glass.
I have left
that dark cave forever.
My body has blended with His.
My body has blended with His.
I lay my
wing
As a bridge to you
As a bridge to you
So that you
can join us
Singing.
Singing.
("The
Gift" - versions of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky)
