Let It Flow On

Let a thousand years flow on, after this.
Let the Jamuna flow on,
let there be an ocean of lotuses.
Carrying the lost basket of wonder,
let another thousand years pass,
let forbidden love and pure love
flow on across the earth.
Let it flow.
Let it flow, a thousand years’
machine, a pool of anguish.
Let the fathers die,
the grandfathers and great-grandfathers.
Into their world of wonder let flow
sorrow, or hideous stars.
