NIGHT RAIN
bamboo # 31 - anis 30.01.00 - for aiman
thank
you for the night rain - that came from the sky - for a couple
of hours - it changed - waste land - into a garden - they were
only - few hours - past the eyes - of the sleeping -- mighty the
night - stormy the night -- hear me speak - all you faithful -
of the world! - hear me - like i hear you - speak to me - like
i speak to you - because i am one - of you - say: - there is no
lore - say: - the master am i - say: - the student am i - say:
- life is - my medicine-man -- the speaker - while speaking -
deals with language - the sleeper - while sleeping - deals with
sleep - there is only - the situation - think about - the situation
- do not think - about me - and not - about yourself - i do not
think - about myself - either -- hear: - the night rain - it fell
- the word - remains the word - the deed - remains the deed -
i am a poet - just like the night rain - is a poet - i write it
myself -- why do i write it? - what is it? - it does not come
- from here - i read it - it does not come from here - it is good
- it is not evil - it does - not come from here - the rain - brought
it - the wind - spoke it -- the wind - when it speaks - it says
- they search for him - it says - the laughing - when they laugh
- their eyes are searching - for him - it says - the ancients -
told about him -- he is the one god - he is - the forbidden word
- it is omnipresent - it is strong - like the right arm - of the
tornado - nobody can break - the word - nobody - the bond - it
is written - in the souls - it is written - in the lines
- it is written - in the hearts -- the bond - which no belief
- can separate - it exists - it exists - deny it - you can - not
separate - are unable to -- if the small - was the big - you could
think fractally - the small - is the big - it is not a lore -
it is the small - and the big -- clear night rain - sweet music
- you lead the souls - to each other - the - absorbed in talk
- through you - shines the power - of eternity - the one power
- that connects everything - and makes gardens - stand in bloom
- can it speak? - it does not speak to me - it is only the wind
- the heavenly child - that speaks to me - can it really - not
speak? - all is one - joy - is the secret -- who heard - the night
rain - when it fell - who saw the plants - when they grew - out
of the waste land? - they were two - whose third - was the wind
-- do not be afraid - of the wind - when it speaks - because -
you know it - don't you know - the wind? - have you never heard
- that rain falls - in the night? - have you never heard - the
word - that the wind - leads to your ear? - where lies - fear?
-- give praise to him who - sent the night rain - glorified be
he - the lord of the worlds - when he speaks - like the speaking
- when he exists - like the existing -- the living - the care-taker
- the veracious -- do not hide his name! - do not deny - the power
of life - think of the calf - think - of the golden calf -- memory
- when it reaches you - like a night rain - so fresh - it must
come to light - it must - because it is so - because - i say so
- a poet -- hear me: - i do not copy - hear: i experience the
world this way - hear: i see - let me! - it is too late - the
rain - it fell - new colors - in the land - there arenew colors - now -- memory - and presentiment
- let it happen! - it was the wind - and two men at the fire -
who listened to it - they prayed - and sacrificed - for their
lord -- because they were given - the fullness - of the clouds
- when they traveled - in the night
