Galactic KnittersA Poem by Maryam MottahedehGalactic Knitters My friend threw me a gem Revelation and apocalypse Mean the same
I caught it with rain Into my well echoing Revolution and apocalypse Mean the same
He passed another From his lineage Samsara is kind I caught this two faced coin To mean the same And the glue Which is me, which is you
He strung me a pearl Without compassion Even wisdom is dangerous My friend is true He continued his prayer That we ask for guidance From those who have balanced wisdom and compassion In their hearts scale
Tears shed The ship sailed away And his words went on to say We can only ask that we may be guided to do the same
My friend has not sailed away Galactic knitters are here to stay Not alone on cliff tops of prayer In the landfills where innocent and ignorance play Day after day © 2012 Maryam Mottahedeh |
