If water won't smother the blaze
Father, take my tears and bestow them on the fire
see if the fires will wither.
Love what is simple and beautiful.
These are the essentials.

He thought of trying to explain something he had recently noticed about himself: that if anyone insulted him, or one of his friends, he didn't really mind--or not much, anyway. Whereas if anyone insulted a novel, a story, a poem that he loved, something visceral and volcanic occurred within him. He wasn't sure what this might mean--except perhaps that he had got life and art mixed up, back to front, upside down.

Man disavows, and Deity disowns me;
Hell might afford my miseries a shelter;
Therefore Hell keeps her ever-hungry mouths all
Bolted against me.
Hard lot! encompassed with a thousand dangers,
Weary, faint, trembling with a thousand terrors,
I'm called, if vanquished, to receive a sentence
Worse than Abiram's.
Him the vindictive rod of angry Justice
Sent quick and howling to the centre headlong;
I, fed with judgement, in a fleshy tomb, am
Buried above ground.

Maybe it's animalness that will make the world right again: the wisdom of elephants, the enthusiasm of canines, the grace of snakes, the mildness of anteaters. Perhaps being human needs some diluting. At any rate, how nice to be well dressed and among friends and in a state where poems pop out by themselves.

I believe in your kiss... your touch
and the way you make me feel.
I believe in your eyes... that make me
see the good in most.
I believe in your mouth... and your sweet
taste... and the softness of the words
that flow from you.
I believe your love has taken me places,
I never dreamed possible.
I believe in your laughter... your tears
of caring and your muted look
of understanding.
I believe that your love has made
me a better human being.
I believe your compassion and
patience have enriched all who
have come to know you.
I believe because of you, I'm the luckiest
person on the face of the earth.
I believe in you... in everything you
say and do.
I believe... that you
have made this world a better place
Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.
Kahlil GibranStichwörter: trees earth sky poems
Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days' worth of rice in my bag;
a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,
I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.

الشمس
تشرق الشمس الذهبية كل يوم على التلة.
الأيكة جميلة، والحيوانات المتوحشة كذلك،
أيضا الرجل: صيادا كان أو مزارعا.
السمك الأحمر يقفز في البركة الخضراء.
تحت قبة السماء
صياد السمك يسافر برفق في زورقه الأزرق الصغير.
البذرة، عناقيد العنب، تنضج على مهل.
وعندما يصل اليوم الهادئ إلى نهايته،
تكون تهيئة كل من الخير والشر قد تمت.
وبحلول الليل،
دون أدنى شك يرفع المسافر جفنيه الثقيلين،
الشمس تهرب من الوديان الكئيبة.
