Kabir: Between the Conscious and Unconscious


Between the conscious and unconscious,
the mind has put up
a swing
all earth creatures, even the supernova
sway between these two trees,
and it never winds down.

Angels, animals, humans, insects by 
the million
also the wheeling sun and moon;
ages go by, and it goes on.

Everything is swinging,
heaven, earth, water, fire,
and the secret one 
slowly growing a body.
Kabir saw that for fifteen seconds,
and it made him 
a servant for life.

- Kabir
