48. TWO FRIENDS

When I sit
On the summits of my mind,
My old friend, Joy, leaves me immediately.
      The joyless beggar
      Helpless comes down.

When I play
In the depths of my heart,
My old friend, God, appears before me.
      Two friends together drink
         Nectar-light,
      Two friends together become
         Oneness-soul of Peace,
         Oneness-goal of Bliss.
