Kabir’s Song of Love

 

Isn’t immortality nothing else

than a realization of a living soul?


Music and rhythm in which souls 

Are drawn and draped—

For mortals even on this earth

Is a breath that stays a breath


By which life itself would want

To have been kissed and held

Well-known, born, and matched 

With her one true kin and kind


That if being sung and voiced

Past the marring bars of void

And shade-casting death.


Oh, yes, the universe does need

Such hearts where such one poesy

And beauty are the ambrosial guests.
