NGONGE Posted April 28, 2004 - In The Arc of Your Mallet - "In The Arc of Your Mallet Don't go anywhere without me. Let nothing happen in the sky apart from me, or on the ground, in this world or that world, without my being in its happening. Vision, see nothing I don't see. Language, say nothing. The way the night knows itself with the moon, be that with me. Be the rose nearest to the thorn that I am. I want to feel myself in you when you taste food, in the arc of your mallet when you work. When you visit friends, when you go up on the roof by yourself at night. There's nothing worse than to walk out along the street without you. I don't know where I'm going. You're the road and the knower of roads, more than maps, more than love." I read this poem in another website and thought some of you might like it. It’s by someone called “Rumi” a 13th century Persian poet, lawyer and Sufi. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
