THREE OLD MONK POEMS (129)
THE JOY
The joy
in going
up the mountain
is going
up the mountain,
the old monk says.
~
WHEN THE DARKNESS
When the darkness
calls you, hold to
the stone of the mountain
and to the light
within it,
the old monk says.
~
THIS IS HOW
This is how I live,
writing one line at a time.
This is how I will die, too,
the old monk said.
