O My Friends Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIJKL MO my friends | A |
What can you tell me of Love | B |
Whose pathways are filled with strangeness | C |
When you offer the Great One your love | B |
At the first step your body is crushed | D |
Next be ready to offer your head as his seat | E |
Be ready to orbit his lamp like a moth giving in to the light | F |
To live in the deer as she runs toward the hunter's call | G |
In the partridge that swallows hot coals for love of the moon | H |
In the fish that kept from the sea happily dies | I |
Like a bee trapped for life in the closing of the sweet flower | J |
Mira has offered herself to her Lord | K |
She says the single Lotus will swallow you whole | L |
