"Sonnet A"

A prayer and call for the world to open a more passionate interreligious discourse, Sonnet A points to the reunion of feminine and masculine modes of Love as an essential starting ground. We see not two angels here, but a perfect singularity of opposites, ascending and descending on wings that unfold along spectrums of distinctions.

Tangible angels we are One and All,
Under and over and inside the flesh;—
There is no frontier for World-centric to draw,
If truly world-centric the angel has meshed.
A Stupa was built on the sands of Iran,
Each native said prayers and accepted its worth;
They all remained Muslim and nothing was gone,
But added to Islam was Buddhism's birth.
Allah as a Baby was from Jewish men,
Which leaked to Muhammad who Journeyed at Night;
The Prophet was tested but mastered zazen,
And now simply twirls as a Dervish in white.
A relic of Buddha in Mecca will stand,
When Islamic integrals...open this Land.
