The Taoist poets
There is some hour, where our minds meet
Like boats floating in the same sea
We see the foam and sky
The learning hour, our heart of poetry
We were not predestined to be saved
By literature, the low-bending weight
Like water, the fruit, the crowds in our womb
Our brain was another light, a bright sunrise
And it would not last, the high-time
That was the hour, when we left
Our writing in the sands
The law of our blessed ways
To follow it like a river
Up to the fields of green
The author’s paradise, is when
Kindred writers meet and talk a little
Our ears are more thirsty than our hearts
For new words, vocabularies, expressions
The seashore was something we invented
To become a journey to the future poetry.
I really like this one!
Thank you, write on.
excellent choice of photo… wow.
I do feel a kinship every time I read your poems. They have helped me through my recent moments of Kensho. That is a mystical thing.
I’m very glad to hear that omega, I have my mystical moments and consider the spiritual realm the true goal of poetry.
I discovered poetry in that place of the spirit staring at the face of the Atman. It was all I could say. That is a wonderful thing. I really have been enjoying meditating on this, peace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPJ5AjlPt4M
