A Poem For Today - from Gitanjali

[KEN DICKINSON]



from Gitanjali

Early in the day it was whispered that we should

sail in a boat, only thou and I, and never a soul in the world would know of this our pilgrimage to no country and to no end.

In that shoreless ocean, at thy silently listening

smile my songs would swell in melodies, free as

waves, free from all bondage of words.

Is the time not come yet? Are there works still to

do? Lo, the evening has come down upon the shore and in the fading light the seabirds come flying to their nests.

Who knows when the chains will be off, and the

boat, like the last glimmer of sunset, vanish into

the night?

and never a soul in the world would know of this our pilgrimage to no country and to no end.
