Time to resurrect the Poetry Thread

[Tobiishi]

...for the posting of random zen-related, or buddhist-related, or non-attachment-related poetry, to which we will not become attached... or buddhistified,... or zenny. Just... words. Maybe words that twist in your head a bit. Or words that twist the world. Just... whatever.
















I'll start.

But why?


Namaste,
tobi.

Re: Time to resurrect the Poetry Thread

Here's one of my favorites from way back- I wrote the whole thing in response to another post, but this excerpt stands alone.

...and all the vignettes and soft on the edges
and in my head now the being-ness
the pure color of it all,
painted on a dark board in oranges and whites,
the music of the numerous lives squeezed in..
