An hour’s glory sped,

Petals red

Like splashed blood lie

Dashed upon the lawn.

The crashing downpour

Now withdrawn

Leaves our poppies

Unfettled and forelorn.

Flash your eyes for me

Old muni eyes

Ever young and lightning bright

You old lover of love

Flash your eyes

Like you ever did

When I was an old young thing

Of seven going on thousands

Recalling the brightness

Beyond the clouds

Flash your eyes

See this world

See the Other World.

Seeing this from That

This holds no power

As one who sees love

Is unmoved by corruption.

Seeing That from this

Move in accordance

As one led by a star

Follows

Amida is always calling my name.

Only Amida knows my true name.

If I call to You, will you tell me my name?

Provisionally we go by temporary labels.

One day we will meet for real.
