zen boxing
one
gud day mates
i am not
hours into minutes run
the days lost shadows
pretzels for breakfast
zen boxing

a man and
another man,
upon passing
each other
asked one question

"If a man comes from nowhere
and is going nowhere,
where is he?"

the other replied,

"What is a man?"

the former replied,

"Who's asking?"


one

In what is heard
There is wisdom

In what is seen
There is beauty

In what is touched
There is grace

One word, one picture
One touch.


gud day mates

this is the jungle of tigers
the bane of man
the unknown
we are but children at this gate
sly sniveling
we fly by grace and circumstance
the hour is getting late

chopping mushrooms in the garden
the spring speaks out of turn
is it I or those who came before
that have nothing left to burn
I yearn for lust
and love
the bittersweet taste of death

we gather at sunset to mourn
the coming of the morn
lest we forget
there is the karmic debt
that must be paid

gold

no

blood

I dont think so

eyes with words

worlds with eyes

peace is a noisy business

touch the hem of it

go ahead touch it

you are the whatever
dont foget it


i am not

tonight the winter rain
melts the snow into the grey sky
the tree barks dark and wet
the wind blends into the bending pines

it is here, now, it fills one.
the song of a million yesterdays
fills this empty afternoon
the touch, so firmly gentle
on the rough edge of man,
forever without time
It is, and I am not.



hours into minutes run

the sun sets slowly in the west
you frown at sundowns
sunsets are your best
red roses grow where you seem to flow
along this path of time
the meaning of life, you say
IS the meaning of life
we live we grow we die, and time
just ticks on, unconcerned.


freshly shaved with occums razor
you face the day unafraid
tucked into your brow
the will of wonder
a faint hint of now


can anyone ever know the name
given to you in the beginning
before time, before everything
the secret one that humming birds hum
as they carry the nectar
of a new day, into a forgotten world.



the days lost shadows

mysterious winds down empty streets
may blow the news gone by,
in unused insight i
silent traveler will spy
the groaning growth of decay.

[a lack of roundness thwarts the day,
sounds all filter into grey.]

trees rooted in blissful harmony,
quiet, needless to say, yet the sun
bakes brilliant, the numb slip away,
some shape tomorrow, some stay
wrapped in the wool of yesterday.

[time is creeping closer, death but a door]

dangers of long ago have evolved along with man,
apathetic trappings slowly stilt the way
so few who know, so many go as though
the world will carry on,
but no.


[those who would save mankind,
have all gone on before.]


pretzels for breakfast

I lay me down
upside of out
confused
you touch another answer
doubt is your cup of tea
thirsting
I am not knotted
the sky rains
perfect harmony
sunbeam-moonbeam
an ocean between us
is not enough
I touch your smile
nickles dance,
I hum the tune.
