Till Hearts End By: Chayasi Sunthonphiphit
Translated by: James N. Mosel and Burton Raffel
My mind glows,Knows no fear of the darkness and its tight web
Though the stars blur, and the moon’s dim rays
Are sucked into nothingness,And the oneness of man still cannot be found;
Though the sky slits and crackles,
Drops no gentle music,Though a rooster’s hurried cackle jars my ears,
And a frightened dog goes whimpering up and down.
This clear light inside mePushes the wild, heavy night back:
It will never flicker, it can never change,
Neither pain nor sorrow can reach it.
The earth swings in circles:
Soon, light must break through, dawn
Hanging golden and clear over all the world, men
Living like men.
In the lonely night I lie listening to my own heart,
The darkness so thick I could lose my way
Except for the faint, echoing chant
Of the most precious words ever written—
Words like drops from heavenFalling like wisdom, strength, peace, beauty, intoMy waiting heart,
These two small hands will move as this mind leadsThem,
Will carry Buddha’s divine lawHere to this earth, until this heart no longer beats.
