song birds

like butterflies

flitting across silk floss blossoms

“With no-mind, blossoms invite the butterfly;

With no-mind the butterfly visits the blossoms.

When the flower blooms, the butterfly comes;

When the butterfly comes, the flower blooms.”

— Ryōkan

One of my favorite poems. All is said. Everything else is silence and mystery.

Who says my poems are poems?

My poems are not poems.

After you know my poems are not poems,

then we can begin to discuss poetry.

The first bowl moistens my lips and throat;

The second bowl banishes all loneliness;

The third expelled the dullness from my mind,

Inducing inspirations born from all the books I’ve read;

At the fourth cup, I begin to perspire –

life's troubles evaporate through my pores.

The fifth cup cleanses my entire being.

Six cups and I am in the realm of the Divine.

Seven cups - ah, but I can drink no more:

I can only feel the gentle breeze blowing through my sleeves,

wafting me away to the Isle of Immortality!

Lu Tung, 8th century Taoist poet

LIke vanishing dew, a passing apparition or the sudden flash

of lightning-already gone— thus should one regard one's self.
