THREE OLD MONK POEMS (385) 


EVERYTHING

Everything
from morning

to now is
all you have --

don't waste it,
the old monk said.

~

IF YOU WANT

If you want to know
what the dead think,

ask the stars,
the old monk said.

~

THE EVIDENCE

The evidence says
there aren't enough stars

to fill the darkness,
but they keep trying,

the old monk said.
