Meditations on, The Way.

in poetry •  6 years ago 

Mind, mind, mind: above the Path.
Here on my mountain, gray hair down, I cherish bamboo sprouts, brush carefully by pine twigs.
Burning incense, I open a book: mist over flagstones.
Rolling the blind, I contemplate: Moon in the pond.
Of my old friends how many know the Way.
