Best Sages Poems

Wild birds our sages;
         we be trapped in cages.
How sweet the outside sound
for larks that are housebound.
We bump against the walls —
our bones afraid of falls.
         In sore fettered...

The following poem is an slightly abridged and liberal translation of the poetic opening verses from Ch.31 of Upasaka Xia Lian Ju’s Infinite Life Sutra:

Wisdom as vast as the boundless sea,
Bodhi as high and wide as Meru peak,
Their halos bright beyond sunbeam,
Surpassing the moon’s luminous...

Lingering languages bowing to lovely lies
Men’s mansions begging to murder morality
Falling flowers born to fraternize frailty...

Truth has replaced touch, I need the wings back.
Live the light in a world covered in Ivory black.
Passion for those in misery, story of boy turned man.
So beautiful to be, feeling weight inwardly as liberty’s master plan.
Solid dreams of gold built by the tears of...

If all the green-blue world 
is a RightBrain stage
while all the LeftBrain map
remains red and yellow and blue and green
and black and white textualized two-dimensional
with ironic ecological correlated analogies
with positive sacred nutritional theologies,

We might develop an everyday outside/inside global passion
for historical deep-felt accuracy
over stuckness in...

Is not what is sought mere illusion
Shrouded in a haze of chaos and confusion
That  lays waste the creations of God
Justified by  a righteous façade
Lines are drawn and defiantly broken
By vicious acts instead of words spoken
There cannot be truth in this  
With innocence...

So speak the hidden Sages,
Such wondrous stories of mystical places.
Should I seek beyond the shadows
Sacred spaces and moon-kissed meadows?
Silently the dreams come slipping,
Softly into my nighttime dripping
Songs of the ancient magical Mages.

Roaming rivers twist and turn for miles;
They are never bored but, anxious,
As they collect their treasures.
The rivers grow wise and
Become old sages, 
Full of knowledge.
If only,
They could
Talk.

If you walk up to her right now
And before all eyes quickly bow,
She will you her night's bed allow;
Throughout the night address your slough,
Her lands release for you to plough,
Your rivals warm against a row,
Everything hand you but a dhow,
Because finding one knows not How...

Seers and sages have come and gone
You are to be compared to none
You are not bounded by time and space
You are not affected by chance
You’ve stayed for eons of years
Sleep and slumber affects not your eyes
Who are we to tell your age?
Individuals only pray you...

The sages I  have read,
       all realize they are humble...
       The fools I've read understand
       they're always all proud......

Birthed within seas of dharma
Beheld by Mani
Begotten as the world’s soul
Brought out by the rising sun

Lost & Found
David J Walker 

The hardback book bore a 
Certain air of confidence 

Of the permanence  
Of its presence 

In a library’s dust
Thrust high 

Upon a back shelf 
Waiting for the curious 

To rediscover the order 
of its letters 

and the messages 
hidden...
