THE SOUL, LIKE THE MOON
Lal Ded14th century KashmirTranslated by Coleman Barks
The soul, like the moon,is new, and always new again.
And I have seen the oceancontinuously creating.Since I scoured my mindand my body, I too, Lallaam new, each moment new.My teacher told me one thing,Live in the soul.
When that was so,I began to go naked,and dance.–From Naked Songs, Published by MayPop Books, 1992. Taken from PARABOLA, Volume 30, No. 3, Fall 2005: “Body and Soul.”
