L'aura del Campo

Flute

"O God, make me a hollow reed, through which the pith of self hath been blown, so that I may become a clear channel through which Thy love may flow to others." is part of a prayer that Baha'is often use, although its attribution is not totally verifiable. However...

Flute

This hollow reed is spent.
No melody now leaves its lips;
no harmony accompanies it.
Pith has choked its vent.

And yet it sings of love,
albeit slightly out of tune,
dying, does not relent,
refusing to go mute.
