Zen Master

At your feet
master
enlightened one

No mystical magics need you
only peace
only compassion
only silence

At your feet
I hear
no illusions

No fear of punishment need you
Only Dharma
Only truth
only love




in audiance with Zen master Fukisama- June 30 2001

Korea's song of han

Now we sing a song of Han
A song of sorrow for the day
A journey that once seemed long
Has nearly slipped away

Epiphany enlightenment
Sacred sights and sounds
Buddhist Monks and Shinto shrines
We walked on holy grounds

I have not found the words as yet
That do justice to the quest
Inadequate the sounds I have
As I describe the test

Ah-di-da, she sings, we sing
On this, our last of days
Everything is like a vapor
And this vapor drifts away

Based on jennie Kim’s Song of han –Korea 2001

my muse

A dream takes shape on
Page for me
In black and white
Simplicity
My hands create imagined
Scenes
My visions fly on graphite
Wings
And I feel the kiss, but
never see
The gentle muse who
Inspires me
