The World But Seems To Be -- Fakhruddin 'Iraqi

Guest poem sent in by Nandini Krishnamoorthy
(Poem #1899) The World But Seems To Be
 The world but seems to be
 yet is nothing more
 than a line drawn
 between light and shadow.
 Decipher the message
 of this dream-script
 and learn to distinguish time
 from Eternity.
-- Fakhruddin 'Iraqi
   (Fakhr al-din Ibrahim)

English translation by William Chittick and Peter Lamborn Wilson

I stumbled upon this piece of poetry thanks to a post by Mac[1]. One of
those poems that can leave you feeling humbled and at the same time lift
your spirits. Cannot think of a better poem that you will want to carry with
you forever.
