as i write i'm still mulling on the last sentence. but on the whole i relate to this expression of yearning. i especially resonate with the sentence, thy tongue is known to my heart as its very own. the heart, seat of the spirit, hears God, the divine. and on our own we cannot find this spirit that is God, but grace can lead us. and we have these words of comfort for us who long, the one who seeks finds. -gk

A great poem by a great poet. A longing to fly free. Loved it.
I forget, I ever forget, that I have no wings to fly, that I am bound in this spot evermore.This being the case with every human being Thy breath comes to me whispering an impossible hope superb
wow wonderful and absolute utterance of self inside seeker//I am eager and wakeful, I am a stranger...I am a wanderer in my heart// great poem
'O Farthest end, O the keen call of thy flute! ' The ever seeking nature of the poet to delve deeper and further in search of knowledge and wisdom.
Indeed spiritual life in the all pervading divinity kindled by the flute is impossible even to dream about if one is in loneliness shut inside four walls ever! His plight is the reality for many souls craving for liberation in the world!
I love this man's writing. Every word, every ink mark every idea....just outstanding. His work deserves re reading and then reading some more....!
