THREE OLD MONK POEMS (97)
SOMETIMES IT FEELS
Sometimes it feels
like I'm painting
the Sistene Chapel,
writing these poems
under the stars,
the old monk said.
~
IF YOU GIVE
If you give away
what you have,
how do you eat,
they asked
the old monk.
He said, that's
not the question.

EVERYONE WANTS
Everyone wants
what
everyone wants,
the old monk says.
The trick is
to find it.
