where did it all go
the dancing the love and the music
could it be that none was there
or it was but all
went to the vanishing point
it is better not to be skeptic
look at Moses' magic cane
one minute a cane the next a dragon
or was it a dragon first
and as it devoured the world
within its existence
it changed to a cane
every situation is
like an arrow
when it is gone my friend
seek and find it in the target
though a pearl
has stolen a grain of sand
from the nearby shore
a wise diver will seek it out
in the depth of the ocean floor
-- Ode (Ghazal) 840
