THREE OLD MONK POEMS (437)
SOMETIMES YOU JUST
Sometimes you just have to say
I might as well peel carrots
and listen to the rain,
the old monk said.
~
IF YOU CAN'T
If you can't do the sums in your head
you will need faster fingers,
the old monk said.
~
THIS IS
This is
mountain.
This is
sun and moon.
They are
brilliance.
What is
silence,
the old monk asked.
