Zen

We have a yen for zen,
for we are a poet,
choosing to sing our song
without inhibition,
taking mankind along.

We have a yen for zen,
so follow not the herd
but carve our path through life,
moment to moment thus,
joyous, aglow, bliss rife.

We have a yen for zen,
free from fear and desire,
with malice towards none,
acceptant and at peace,
knowing we all are one.

We have a yen for zen,
so abide in silence,
connected to our soul,
dispersing love and light,
here in our earth life role.
