Buddhist Poet Tree In Motion

Buddhist Poet Tree in Motion Paige helped herself to words written On the canvas of life with earth Etched on tapestry smoothening The smothering eclipse of demise Thermal springs fired resolve and Restitution from smouldering ashes Engraved meaning emoted retold Enclaves of sanity resilient narration In water she bathed her soul Nascent native naïve swallowed Mellow stream bubbles sprinkled On aquarelle paper sun stars and The moon in eight noble truths Inspiring rhyme rhythm meter from Obscure obfuscation Paige turned Nothing to pages a tree of her change 24th January 2016

Wow, after reading this I am overcome with its elegance. The writing style is modern and it's fit for mags.publication. This is what they like.

Thank you Janis. I must look into mags. At the moment I am on holiday in Madrid and getting inpired. Soon it is the South African sun again and the pen can flow. Many wishes, Kai

"The words of truth are always paradoxical" (Lao Tzu). That last stanza is a beauty. Isn't that what we often do?

Thank you Darren. I like paradox, it is more real than anything else. Many wishes, Kai

Had to look up aquarelle, made sense after that. Love the Buddhist theme as a backdrop of change. Like the last line - I guess we all change nothing to pages when we write. Great poem! :-)
