A Charming Quandary

"A Charming Quandary" Pieces of thy heart were fed to nourish thee a charming quandary seeks the purveyor of all things seeking thee inside the hungry I Am sits at a table waiting for you to take your seat left or right it does not matter which the conversation will be the same what do you think of me? The paths you had to take to find me? your chair waits left or right it does not matter which you are not early you are not late two plates at either seat sides left or right irrelevant, yet solely two plates set for thee Pieces of thy heart were fed to nourish thee a charming quandary seeks the purveyor of all things seeking thee (LadyLabyrinth / 2022) VI, 12. 1. As the sun (goes around) the heavens I have surrounded the race of the serpents. As night (puts to rest) all animals except the hamsa bird, (thus) do I with this (charm) ward off thy poison. 2. With (the charm) that was found of yore by the Brahmans, found by the Rishis, and found by the gods, with (the charm) that was, will be, and is now present, with this do I ward off thy poison. 3. With honey do I mix the rivers; the mountains and peaks are honey. Honey are the rivers Parushnî and Sîpalâ. Prosperity be to thy mouth, prosperity to thy heart. VI, 77. 1. The heavens have stood, the earth has stood, all creatures have stood. The mountains have stood upon their foundation, the horses in the stable I have caused to stand. 2. Him that has control of departure, that has control of coming home, return, and turning in, that shepherd do I also call. 3. O Gâtavedas (Agni), cause thou to turn ill; a hundred way's hither shall be thine, a thousand modes of return shall be thine: with these do thou restore us again.

"And indeed there will be time For the yellow smoke that slides along the street, Rubbing its back upon the window-panes; There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; There will be time to murder and create, And time for all the works and days of hands That lift and drop a question on your plate; Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions, Before the taking of a toast and tea."
