AN OVAL MOON
An
oval moon opened up in the sky.
High above it a chorus of rainbows sang.
Follow me, said the whisper.
Follow me.
I
am unheard in the village where the people sleep.
I am not seen where the revelers dare to dance.
I am the very small chair in the empty room.
Sit,
and listen, and the Universe will lift its veil.
The movement of a thousand years will remove itself
from your mind and you will
be reacquainted with true beginnings.
There
will come upon your yearning a learning
of only this:
you are the cleverest child.
