Ever a Heart
My Existence said to me,
'The tongue is so vulgar-
day and night it chatters untiring.
Is there any way to silence it? '
I said, 'Why, keep a pebble into your mouth.'
After few days, the Existence once again said to me,
'The tongue has been silent. Now is there
any way to silence the heart? '
I said to him, 'Alas!
Nothing but death can silence a heart ever.'
