Notes About The Poem

From my "Old Meditator" series.

Reflecting from the Now on the Then...

Old Zafu, Old Sitter

Gray hairs on my zafu...
Incense, all but dust...

I'm running out of time
to run out of 'me.'

I'm running out of trust
that I might ever see

a world without me
from a place within
without me peering
out.

Gray hairs on my zafu...
Incense, all but dust...
The light is low,
this I know,
and there lies
the Problem.

Thank you so very much. When the meditation works, the words seem to play most effortlessly. And sincerely. Thank you.
