Heavy with the mud of many lands
I was flowing lazily,
Making obstacles of myself
out of my unholy accumulations.
Suddenly I awakened
to the freshness of endless beauty,
And felt the eternal environment
of endless peace.
My beloved I have found you,
and yet never were we separated,
Every drop of my being is you
and yours is the force of my flow,
Never are we apart
and yet I always strive after you.
The flow of creation will go on
with me or without me,
Only do not make me forget
that I am none
and that you only exist and create
in ever-changing mobility.
Poetry by Maurice Frydman (1901-1977)
