melting snow ~

weary birds descend, for

the warm dawn earth

moist lavender sky

breeze grass scented ~

elephant lulled to sleep

leading away

into the woods ~ a path

i know, yet looks strange

careful steps on

sunny rocks ~ water fills

the sky with rhythms

sunlight coaxes
ancient memories from
hearts of sleepy stones

sculpting the stones
into radiant parables
gentle sunlight ~

living and dead
in the living sunlight
all living and living!

ancient stones
watching the newborn clouds
who watch them watching

reaching the sky
who knows how high?
it is still the sky!

warm greens to
cool, flaming blues ~
path to the hilltop

forgotten paths
knower of all paths
awake in the stone ~

primal totems
loom on perfect skies
breeze echoes
apocalyptic suns

winds scatter sunlight ~

mountain forests stirring

autumn symphonies

fusing in sentient
fire, fractal progressions
erupt, convolve
on measureless voids,
dissolve seamless dimensions ~

autumn twilight ~
the breeze mixes
fragrant hues of leaves

geese ascend
into passing clouds ~
the hidden moon

forms emerging
from the formless voids
voids reclaiming
reforming
the perfect forms
for what all this formed
and formless meandering ~
if not to reveal
the peerless Form!
my infant Narayana
beaming gently everywhere
on the silent eve, of
the ages of endless light to be!

single leaf departs

the windy balcony ~

ochre sunset

ancient castle

forgetfully presses on,

another day awaiting

the final moment, all

glorious pasts are reborn ~

shadows trailing

the paternal silence ~ petals

the maternal light ~

sunlight rhythms

on the lotus leaf ~

the lotus dance begins

shifting light

of infinite eons ~

a tree witness

the succession of pagodas
recurring in mist ~ wait,
not quite recurring!
