Still Waters

More about Still Waters

Clear Still Waters
of the Divine
flow not
to Thine
Heart
if it Be
in a Rage
Thundering
Churning
Burning
with Age
Old Grievances.
Still
the Agitation,
Pour Out
the Old Waters
of emotion
Pour them out
in such a way
that they may
Lose their Power
to Devour,
drown out the Joy,
Love and Beauty
that you may then
receive from
the Still Waters
of the Divine.

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 resume again this mode of playful tapping for inspiration from reading one poem a day or so until I finish the book. 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.)
