With sad clutter
I wonder along a beach
and listen to blissful families,
In love, In caring
Talking still, kids are running
I am balanced
treading sand, step by step-
Cross the rocks, the gentle tide
-an inlet, clearing of sand
Quiet creek, simpler than that
Immense strands of grass, side of the ancients.
Za Zen, Ocean Meditation
A shinning Bodhisatva
Illuminated by the Sun
Gathering strength in stillnes,
Bury a rock beneath my peaceful mind-
feeling the warmth of solitude
Young ambition of life,
dedicated to art,
Delightful words, running along-
the stream, bubbling water,
Cool from the core-
This is where It is
I am Here

here within
without the clear
horizon of a dawning day,
in play surrounded by
the way the sweep of
twilight
trips away

zen again
the half and wholes
completing whisps
of tales untold,
come circular
completed in
the stillness
of two hearts
in spin

illusionary
life we marry,
surfaced by
the gift

love is love,
the dove now flown,
with souls completed,
sky in lift

--------

great work here... thanks for the read and for letting me tag on
