poem – Letters To A Young Spiritual Seeker

Poem: Impermanence

even the most beautiful bodies
age and wither away.
invest in cultivating the Dharma,
and not wasting time being attached
to impermanent things.

I’ve loved you as a child,
and I love you still.

Nine magical innings
on a perfect summer day.

A simple game full of complex beauty.
I will love you as I age into an old timer.

i love you
i want to run from you
i run towards you
what should i do?
in the end,
love wins.

life is good,
when laughing
with the people you love

little girl
you are a miracle
your laughter contagious
joy shared
three generations of our family
all laughing

*I wrote this poem about my daughter bringing laughter and joy to our family.

(Ink brush drawing)

Hidden sages in dark alleys
sitting alone pondering the moon

I am exhausted yet still grateful,
because I am free.
