Let’s Swing

Between the conscious and the unconscious, the mind has put
up a swing:
all earth creatures, even the supernovas , 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
