Eutopia
by Francis Turner Palgrave
THERE is a garden where lilies
And roses are side by side;
And all day between them in silence
The silken butterflies glide.

I may not enter the garden,
Though I know the road thereto;
And morn by morn to the gateway
I see the children go.

They bring back light on their faces;
But they cannot bring back to me
What the lilies say to the roses,
Or the songs of the butterflies be.

From Less Time
Less time than it takes to say it,
less tears than it takes to die;
I've taken account of everything,
there you have it.
I've made a census of the stones,
they are as numerous as my fingers and some others;
I've distributed some pamphlets to the plants,
but not all were willing to accept them.
I'vekept company with music for a second only
and now I no longer know what to think of suicide,
forif I ever want to part from myself,
the exit is on this side and,
I add mischievously, the entrance, the
re-entrance is on the other.
You see what you still have to do.
Hours, grief, I don't keep a
reasonable account of them; I'm alone

Bonus Poem:
No More Leaving

At
Some point
Your relationship
With God
Will
Become like this:

Next time you meet Him in the forest
Or on a crowded city street
There won't be anymore
"Leaving."
That is,
God will climb into
Your pocket.

You will simply just take
Yourself
Along!

-Hafiz
