Oh, I've been put in my place by a fourteenth century Iranian poet...
You don't have to act crazy anymore --
We all know you were good at that.
Now retire, my dear
from all that hard work you do
of bringing pain to your sweet eyes and heart.
Look in a clear mountain mirror --
See the Beautiful Ancient Warrior
and the Divine elements
you always carry inside
That infused this Universe with sacred Life
so long ago.
And you join Eternally
with all Existence -- with God.
