Tanka #4: Heaven’s Breath

given end of days
showing Heaven’s last gasp
rocks scattered like leaves
gods breathing timeless wonder
we wait below wordlessly

Heaven entwines Earth
we creatures intertwining
bound unto glory
I see your eyes in my gaze
locked now in eternity

always in our mind
swirling ’round to end of time
you from whom we come
we come to you in time of need
giving you our precious seed

hear my ancient call
from mists beyond the hermit’s cell
see the rising dawn
we who gaze with bated breath
journeying from one to all

white noise of silence
eternal soundscape
inner and outer
are not two!

chairs and tables
watching our every move…
primordially patient

weary traveler
journeying through endless samsara
abandon your collected burden to the deep
and be here reborn:
fresh, awake and naked!

the journey is the goal
is endless journeying
one portal into another

picture perfect day
doesn’t fool me at all:
flu again!

amber winged glory

monarch in kingdom of colour

pointedly gazing
