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

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! :-)
