Destination Crematorium

Before the dawn Listening unfamiliar talk Through the buildings opposite Following the cluster of temples, Feelings on my thought mixing- Morning Prayer gong in peace: the bell. Living wood on a dying fire ask Did we know the truth of us? Emitting rays of east, Radiance on a river reflect As I reach to the bank. Early morning, Ongoing cremation And activities around Put forth in contrast a life. Where degrees of emotion along, Knowledge of life enlightened Observing transformation Into universal elements Flesh, that adjoins.
