The image in the mirror is such a strong one. What is it really but an image? Nothing is really there. And yet........ When one looks, who looks? And what does one see? What 'arises'? What quality? Is it the steady compassion that 'encompasses' all apparent qualities or is it better to stick with this notion of ' no thing'? So many rippling, pondering questions to sail on....... Thankyou Maryann moon for your lovely comment too so many subtle allusion in that. love and blessings to all on the poetry chaikhana Dear Ivan,

Very often in Urdu poetry, the poet includes his name in the poem. This is not vastly different from what you have said, but, I think, it is different enough..........

I woke several times and was so very assured by the Light of the moon. I was reminded of The Great Creator saying, "come, let us introduce ourselves in love, and then let's sit on the moon and swing our feet. Let's sit in our bathrobes and celebrate the everlasting fire of our love. Thank you for this lovely poem. Dear Ivan, Were you aware last night of the loveliest
Light - all through the night? I woke several times and
was so very assured by the Light of the moon. I was
reminded of The Great Creator saying, “come, let us
introduce ourselves in love, and then let’s sit on the moon and swing our feet. Let’s sit in our bathrobes and celebrate
the everlasting fire of our love.

Thank you for this lovely poem.
