Waves

There is nothing but water in the holy pools,
I know, I have been swimming in them.
All the gods sculpted of wood and ivory can't say a word
I know, I have been crying out to them.
The Sacred Books of the East are nothing but words.
I looked through their covers one day sideways

What Kabir talks about
is only what he has lived through.
If you have not lived through something, it is not true.

I have been thinking of the difference between water and the waves on it.
Rising, water's still water, falling back, it is water.
Will you give me hint how to tell them apart?
Because someone has made up the word - "Waves."
Do I have to distinguish it from "Water?"

There is a Secret One inside of us.
The planets in all the galaxies pass through his hands like beads.
There is a string of beads one should look at with luminous eyes.
