FROM A LARGE PITCHER
version by Anthony Weir, 2012
From a large pitcher
drink the wine of oneness
to wash your consciousness
of life's futility and greed,
and still keep your consciousness
magnanimous
like a great vessel.
There can never be a need
to shrink awareness
into an unopened bottle!
When your mouth is blest and full
with wine of oneness
you are selfless,
prideless, free of dull
me-ness, cleansed of meanness.
Look to the pebble on the road
for inspiration,
not blue sky: aspiration
involves deceit, corruption,
and life becomes mere letters of a code.
Absorb the wine of oneness, give it body -
murder hypocrisy, not your heart.
Bestir yourself! Get ready!
Lift up the jug - now start!
