On a zendo floor
Awoken by gentle chime
Tranquility hums
This is puzzling:
Why it is humanity
That’s most inhuman?
Thunder’s false calling
Empty promise of rainfall
Deception’s sad rage
Fearful of ancient rage
Rattling dusty cadavers
Forgotten dreams
Hidden within
Away from the glare
Of expectation
The air caresses
Gently through my hair, my skin;
A life, wild, free
Sky, absent the sun
The stars are comforting me
Familiar friends
Forcing upon skin
The beauty of cloud-free skies
Sometimes there is fire
Where can we go now?
Once the dreams are accomplished
Yet there’s much more life
“Almost” escaping
Leaving my lips far too fast
Birthing new regrets
An empty focus
Driving towards reflexive goals
Neglecting one’s soul
