THREE OLD MONK POEMS (297)
WHERE THE LIGHT
Where the light
comes in --
go there,
the old monk said.
That's the window.
If you can't
see out, it gets
pretty lonely.
~
YOU CAN LOOK
You can look into it,
but never touch the fire,
the old monk told
the visiting spirits.
~
THINK HOW LONG
Think how long
you get to love
what you love,
the old monk said,
then you die.
