There’s something
to teach in the desert- holy words,
not simple words.
‘Tis about some thirst.
‘Tis about one huge desert,
which is always peopled by
a lot of walkers,
those moribund walkers with small, leaden eyes,
eyes like lost objects
and really not useful
at night.
At night,
many, tiny, miscellaneous stars start to shine
in that unique, leaden sky,
but even so,
it is hard to see around.
Those ancient stars become golden leaders
for those losers walking
and singing heavy songs,
but searching for new pools –
wherever they are elsewhere.
The teacher said, and he said once,
‘I’ll turn the desert into a pool of water.’
It is not only about the thirst.
Those dying people
still have a will, but maybe
they all will not lose
all their hope.
At least, they cannot die twice
and they think that they will lose everything
because
there is nothing left to save.

The focus of "The BeZine," a publication of The Bardo Group Beguines, is on sacred space (common ground) as it is expressed through the arts. Our work covers a range of topics: spirituality, life, death, personal experience, culture, current events, history, art, and photography and film. We share work here that is representative of universal human values however differently they might be expressed in our varied religions and cultures. We feel that our art and our Internet-facilitated social connection offer a means to see one another in our simple humanity, as brothers and sisters, and not as “other.” This is a space where we hope you’ll delight in learning how much you have in common with “other” peoples. We hope that your visits here will help you to love (respect) not fear. For more see our Info/Mission Statement Page.
