Light will someday split you open
When all your desires are distilled; You will cast just two votes: To love more, And be happy.
We have not come here to take prisoners But to surrender ever more deeply To freedom and joy.
Thou learnest no secret until thou knowest friendship, since to the unsound no heavenly knowledge enters.
Carry your heart through this world like a life-giving sun
The world is like an eye, a beard, a spot of beauty and eyebrow, Where each thing is neatly in place.
