Jewelled Visions

More about Jewelled Visions

Let not
the Jewelled Visions,
Bright and Beautiful,
Filled with All
the Colours
of the Rainbow
be broken
by sharp
clattering
hooves
with a thundering call
to draw weapons and
go to war—Still
the ghosts
of anxieties, accusations,
fears and dread,
instead allow
illumination
to reveal.
dispel and dissolve,
drive out the beast
of war—Build
a fire of peace,
invite all warriors
and peacemakers
to gather 'round
and gaze
into this ever changing
luminosity, to draw forth
inspirations, stories,
sharing
that bring about
peace—Let
the fire of inspiration
bring peace—
Let the warrior's heart
be tamed, with
the raging beast
of war finally
driven out
completely—with
loyalty and friendship,
companionship
to take its place
instead
like that
of a most
beloved
that finds a home
within the heart and mind
of humankind, that
humankind
wisely then sits
unmasked
whole
and luminous
as the Sun.

In response, and inspired by a poem within the book, THE GIFT, Poems by HAFIZ, The Great Sufi Master, Translations by Daniel Ladinsky.

Certainly not to say I am a master or even an apprentice in any way of poetry or mystical insight—all is simply a creative endeavor to see what my own mind and heart may say of the poem, to try and put it into my own words, or simply to respond to the ideas set forth by HAFIZ, and translated by Daniel.

(My apologies, this footnote will be repeated as I intend, at least presently, to continue in this mode for awhile. I am quite curious how AI will interpret things and how I may work and play, tweek words and such to perhaps change the direction AI is taking, in the end, hopefully to make a dream worthwhile sharing.)
