I Am

I am
as I came
a guest
not a ‘name’
an acolyte
not a master
a mystery
to many
a fool
to most
a gray
solitary
ghost

Miniature 244

we are linked
one within another
an endless loop
without beginning or
end a knot
entwined about itself

Miniatures 242 and 243

if purpose be divined
it is to gain
insight into shifting light
where paradox rotates
about a core but we
bound by fateful decree
merely sense what stirs
in our midst
a moment longer
than an interval
would permit
time to unfold
at fingertip



becoming
is
selecting

knowing
is
doing

being
is
believing

change
is
renewal

hope
is
faith

Miniatues 236 and 241

little worth
the need
to possess
so much




241.
be where
you can
hear birds
smell flowers
feel the
earth yield
to joy

Miniatures 215 and 221

215.

keep to
the simple
the line
is straight
if it curves
return the
way you came






221.

to see
is to
know

to listen
is to
sense

the essence
of silence

Miniature 235 and 204

235.

little to say
much to do

keep silent
move slowly

all flowing
from within





204.

where it begins
is unknown
where it ends
is beneath
our feet

Silent Presence

Silent Presence

wherever I look
I see your image

in the flower
at dusk embedded

clouds resting above
an orange horizon

when I listen
your voice speaks

in the wind
summoning me home






196,

we dream in fantasy
live in an enigma
die in memory
with what cannot
be forgotten
