day lost to dreaming; the evening breezes whisper – now a wakeful night

sky

today, a drum-skin sky,
taut from horizon to horizon sea
was simply graced
by an ornamental crescent moon

the times

difficult days-
the roadside fisherman hawks
yesterday’s catch

sea sound

sea sound

the gentle shushing

wave against the shore

my world contracts

and I

cocooned in salty silence

slide

into the sand

little mother

sitting

in a green chair

the little mother

marks time

in half hours

father’s day

father’s day –

another year passes

with no one to call.

Dhamapada Verse

Long is the night for the wakeful; Long is the journey for the weary; Long is samsara for the foolish who know not the Sublime Truth
