Zen Self Portrait

senge — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 03:12:33 +0000

I’m wind, I’m fire,
A forever changing something.
I’m the rustling in the leaves.
Shadow from a thousand lights.
I’m earth, I’m fire.
I’m whatever I need be.
For I know that I
Am nothing.

Running thru the night,
The wind spells freedom,
As it gently touches
My face.

Gardens of thoughts
Sprouting in my mind.
How nice to watch them bloom,
Without grasping.

Waking up

senge — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 13:40:16 +0000

Morning,
Window loudly beaten
By rain.

Running in the rain

senge — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 11:48:21 +0000

The magic
Of a single raindrop,
Hanging from the power-lines,
Twinkling as it catches
The distant light
Of daybreak.

Quiet

senge — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:46:16 +0000

Morning.
Breathe in calm.
Silent zendo.
Daybreak.

Morning rush

senge — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 14:46:24 +0000

Crazy morning,
Running wild.
Within the storm,
Can mind stay calm?

Dawn

senge — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:44:18 +0000

Silent running,
Thru the darkness
Into daybreak.

Footstep’s firm,
Breath is steady,
Mind is calm.

Just here… just now.

Early Sunday,
Body awake…
Brain still cuddled
On my pillow.

Awareness fail…

After the rain

senge — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 04:21:41 +0000

Tiny cricket in the darkness.
Your soft and gentle song,
Kindly whispers in my ear,
— “Be here, be now”
