Watching Buddha (haikus)
|
[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. 2001:12:27 - 2002:01:07 Florida Written variously on toilet paper with a marker and some within memory. Nothing more. |
