What a marvellous little love poem 'Intimacy' is! I absolutely took to it the moment I read it because it illustrates perfectly how just one person can change your view of yourself and your relationship to the whole cosmos - that detachment no longer seems the best option - that you would rather fight hurricanes and tornados for the very opposite.
Intimacy
by Rahat Indori
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
I held the Sun, Stars and Moon at a distance
till the time your hands touched mine.
Now I am not a feather to be easily detached:
instruct the hurricanes and tornados to observe their limits!

Yes, a wonderful little poem, and a personal favorite of mine.
Rahat Indori rocks!
