AN ENLIGHTENED STORY Tell me an enlightened story— Descartes' dream and Pascal's vision floated to my mind last night hear the bells that make the stars twinkle Descartes' dream and Pascal's vision Fire, fire, fire— mind ablaze in fire hear the bells that make the stars twinkle as snowflakes dance with the West Wind Fire, fire, fire— mind ablaze in fire Whirlwind sweeps me to the town square as snowflakes dance with the West Wind The sage shows me his secret book Whirlwind sweeps me to the town square The maiden hands me a melon The sage shows me his secret book and I awake to know who I am The maiden hands me a melon Suddenly I'm back in the Garden and I awake to know who I am— this infinite eternal Self Suddenly I'm back in the Garden Tell me an enlightened story— this infinite eternal Self floated to my mind last night. — Peter Y. Chou Los Altos Hills, 7/8/2006 Poetry Workshop with Cecilia Woloch "The Pleasure of the Pantoum" 30th Annual Foothill Writers' Conference |
