[1] After watching the sky within I flutter: an autumn leaf in the wind Dark woods slowly sway reassuringly.

[2] After sitting in inner calm, I sit glimsing litte sky and trees. Mists trickling down the windows.

[3] The day's third bell rings. I already full,walk to eat breakfast. On the horizon first light.

[4] Shadows lengthen on the walls. I walk and watch three Buddhas Sit. Behind them oranges slowly ripen.

[5] Cold morning transparent as glass. A line of Buddhas marching to meditate Sharing a smoke of breath.

[6] Rain passed away last night. I sit here and watch my breath. Bearded trees watch the sun.

[7] Moonlight is flooding the darkness. My slow breath scrapes away old thoughts. Outside wind's clearing dead leaves.
