Warm dusk on barren tree tops
Crows chatter
Darkness enters !

PALM TREE MIND
The moon wanes !
The night glows
The clouds float by
In the shadows of the palm tree
The mind is!
HASTY ENTANGLEMENT
Mirror on the wall
A smile!
A beautiful reflection!
Lost to haste
A comb full of entanglement !
RICE FIELD SUNSET
The rice fields are green and flooded
The herons stir and probe
At sunset !
The murky water settles !
CERAMIC REMAINS
The world in a vase
Perfection at the window
Toppled now by the cold wind
Shattered and
Ceramic remains!
FRAGRANT LEMON GRASS
Another summer day
The sun blazes
In the shadow of a rock
Fragrant lemon grass!
MOVING TOES
In this spot I sit!
A thousand years have passed
Nothing has changed since
Yet! My legs cramp
My toes move again!
RED CARPET
Warm blood soaks the carpeted
floorA carcass slumps down!
A life lost in slumber
Now! Finally Awakening!
WHAT HAS BECOME OF YOU
What has become of you ! Oh My soul!
Once a shining star in the sky
You had led me!
Now a flickering lamp
In the cold winter wind !
What has become of you!
Across mountains and oceans
Valleys and gulleys
You had led me with delight
Now you left me stranded
Within the desert of my very own mind
What has become of you!
A prophet you were, once to me
Now you have left me to drown in
my own strife
What has become of you !
Fickle and petty
Selfish , hateful
A shallow heart full of spite
What have you made me into !
In the desire for freedom!
Have you snared yourself into this trap
This trap of you own making !
Oh ! How long will you go around
in circles!
Circles of greed, hatred and illusion !
Oh! What has become of you !
Have you forgotten the sweetness Love
Have you forgotten the warmth of happiness
Have you forgotten the clarity of wisdom
Oh ! What has become of you ! My
soul!
What has become of you!
