Best Sabi Poems

Cars are the wind on the streets
semi-truck wheels shriek thunder,
rain shatters against stone and brick walls
on dusty roads, oak trees fence with twigs—
wushu wooden clatters.

Dreadful arrays of dryads
azure and amethyst gossamer haze,
sleek, silken strikes gist an opera of wisteria,
as they sway to silver breeze's sibilant...

"Dead leaves lay still, even the last flower is withered: yet there is a beauty in decayed imperfection." Taken from a quote by _Constance La France

On an orbital rotation around our planet every day, nothing stays the same. We change our surroundings change, our thoughts...

We wander through so many gardens,
doting robins, ignoring the crows.
Our personal oasis is an unfinished poem.
Plastic flowers may last longer, but their dead scent,
cannot compare to freesia and frangipani.

In fading grey sunset,
I crumble, crouching in musk air.
An arch frame with withered wood skin
and paint peeling...

Wabi-Sabi

Empty the mirage of perfection
Whose shadow wears scars
Of perpetual broken rainbows –
Cracked rose petals –
Gilded edges joined by hibernation and spring.

A pilgrimage into amnesia
Timeworn victories fade into badges lost to time 
Moonlight swallows the waning heart of morning
Sunlight gobbles up unfinished faces...

youth, where imperfections trip upon each other
and opportunistic peers joyfully celebrate the folly
 - glass tree houses be damned...

and - a spun bottle breaks blood brotherhoods
where fragile crevices expose truths and
welcome untested kinships to fill the void.

the leftover baggage - will it be burden or...

Wabi-Sabi stain

Wabi-Sabi stain, our soul wears
We review in wonder
We are healed when love with love pairs
Birthing soundless thunder

We feel magnetic heat
Benign burn, head to feet
In sync with God’s bliss beat

Heart’s now free from pain
Wabi-Sabi stain

WABI-SABI

The vase lay broken on the floor
Pieces scattered, whole no more
Collected, to try and make again
Yet its beauty may forever wane
Glue and gold wire used to repair
Never to be perfect as I’m aware
Yet still is worthy of my attention
And ongoing healing intervention
Cracks now mended, yet...

Wabi-Sabi

A stunning beauty seen with moles on the cheek from a distance
If be near, like spaceman, we find dry lowland area of dark rock,
Shadows in holes where meteors hit, left craters, the Sun can’t hit.

She relies on the Sun for light, the borrowed light throws...

Every touch and flicker grazes our heart,
evoking response as of consciousness
Mindful eye sees waves approach and depart,
detachedly centred in void of oneness

Play of emotions, marked by divergence,
contoured thus by judgmental perception,
seek to etch their imprint on innocence,
drawn by free will chosen resonation 

Nurture oh hermit,...

wabi-sabi stains, etched upon our soul
characterise struggles, that make us whole
vanishing ink cognised by inner eye
that with feet on ground, we reach for the sky
reuniting with source, our earth life goal

stepping lightly along the pathless path
each moment in time, a holy sabbath
we relinquish control through...

Kato was a mutt-product:- breeding run amok
No purity meant the pound of death-induction 
Only his adoption saved him from that inferno
turning life into moments full of simply-perfect:

Each summer, the sun stroke a furry black hue
Elevating it with a sheer of burgundy elegance

Pauses were paws-aplenty with...

You cry: "Oh No!", as your cherish beloved pot 
lies shattered into pieces
at your feet, splattered in tears,
echoing your sobs and muttered moans.
"What to do?" you ask.
You could try to glue it back together,
but it's impossible to hide the cracks 
and jagged ends of the...
