MINDLESS SUNRISE

Another morning, fresh and new

Dew drops and misty grass 

Clouds and thoughts floating by

Crimson feelings flowing  

Happiness and joy

Residing peace

As the tranquil rays spread and glow

Oh!  Can’t tell my mind from the sunrise!

TRANQUIL RIVER

The heaven is so vast

The stars, too many

The flowers are yellow

The leaves are green

Caressing without clinging

Embracing without entanglement

Oh! Tendril and tree!

Let the

river of tranquillity flow!

TRANQUIL CACTUS

In this hotness of the raging summer

Days and nights go by

The hills and plains are left  dry  

The bushes and grasses whither

In the cracking cakes of  parched soil

Leafless trunks are scattered

There is empty blueness in the vast cloudless sky

Yet! Within the thorny greenness of the resilient cactus!

The tranquil water reigns!
