(North face of Mt Kailash, Western Tibet, 2009)
For Kailash
Mind like the wind blew
Away when I let it go
The way of all things
(7/2009, first published in my first book of poems THE HEART OF IT, 2015)
Turbulent takeoff, tension thick
Tongue-tied terror, toxic trip
Tropical tornado tempestuous threat
Timbuktu touchdown, tomorrow Tibet.
Begin with a letter
T is letter chosen

Gazing out from billions of unique eyes
Your face gives a glimpse of timeless lives
Old man as weathered wisened monk,
Young child full of joy and boundless *****
Each and every one an endless story
Told without record in simple living glory
(8/6/26)
I walked through the market
but there was nothing I wanted to buy,
nothing I thought I needed,
until the smile
on the faces of a few
gave me what can’t be bought,
and in that moment I drained the full cup
I’d been carefully holding
and filled it anew
with light.
Listen to poem:
cold harsh desolate terrain
where life to us seems hostile and cruel
gardens painstakingly nurtured
with minimal returns
so much effort so little gain
yet a most appreciative and spiritual people
atop their mountains so close to God

Two boys of Tibet
There was a young boy of Tibet
Liked Swimming, but not getting wet
He said he would try
To swim when it’s dry
What a silly young boy of Tibet
Another young boy of Tibet
Had a Snowman he kept as a pet
That’s abominable said I
Yeti, couldn’t see why
Elusive was that Boy of Tibet
(Tibetan teen at a tea house in Saga, Western Tibet, 2009)
With Light
I walked through the market
but there was nothing I wanted to buy,
nothing I thought I needed,
until the smile
on the faces of a few
gave me what can’t be bought,
and in that moment I drained the full cup
I’d been carefully holding
and filled it anew
with light.

A Man from Tibet
There was a young man from Tibet
Who had wanted to become a vet. But bitten by the hog, And chased by the dog, He took to his bed instead.
