Listen to the Wind

The wind is blowing softly like words spoken
in ancient temples built of stone, sharply hewn
from quarries dug in highland hills made barren
by creatures come to claim the woodland cedars,

The Dawn Visitor
...The nights were short,
A clear summer, long and hot,
A chickadee visited every dawn,
And caught a stunning view by the pane.
Maybe my nest’s walls knew,

Rest On Beloved
...For the sun that didn't shine till dusk
For the moon that didn't light our paths at dawn
To the stars that left our skies blank
And to the herder that left the pastures unglazed

...Behind an old window,
A young girl often gazed,
Through a thin shattered pane,
Through a large hole unglazed.

Home of Happiness
...Be it a hut of bamboo and palm frond roof
maybe a hut made of straw and mud,
or a stone dwelling with unglazed windows.

Drifting Pain
...I am in retreat, for a music
of visitation,
playing with the words.
Mission failed,
the upheaval starts in the islands
of void, to find out
who was unglazed.
Folding the protuberance
