📿 Kesariya 🥀

"Through her, in a rush of saffron and musk, beauty falls into disarray..." --Ibn 'Arabi

[saffron-mantled-dawn]

Bringer of Rain, Harbinger of Spring

I spread the secrets of flowers and their fragrance softly effusing

Soother of Pain, Lush Bounty I bring

I bear the balm of affection for your heart’s flushed and tender bruising…

A royal nature, an angelic intellect, a radiant soul, the eyes of a lynx, keen and piercing.

— FRANCESCO PETRARCA ⚜️ Sonnets and Shorter Poems, transl. by David R. Slavitt, (2012)

Have I lived enough? Have I loved enough? Have I considered Right Action enough, have I come to any conclusions? Have I experienced happiness with sufficient gratitude? Have I endured loneliness with grace?

Mary Oliver, from “The Gardener” in A Thousand Mornings
