Dedicated to Captain Ian Fishback
who has the courage to Act Great....
 
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.
