A Peaceful Place to Slumber
A Peaceful Place to Slumber
1.) Peaceful Place
To reach the foot of mountain
where water drips through moss
found a small hut by a cave
this verse left on door
To return to our nature
the spring of our existence
to learn everyday to add
new everyday
Morning Glory dies again
again and again dies
in the shade of lone pine tree
playing in the fields
Through all of life’s broken pain
a Skylark sings of all things
above garden being swept
snow is forgotten
When sky suddenly darkens
voices of the Wild Magpie
and a seldom seen bird of prey
are heard faintly, white
Though the heart will always dream
being fond is not Universal Love
pointing a useless finger
admire blossoms
2.)Peaceful
Still gardens always moving
faster than a stone mountain
will move slowly through all time
deeply written line
A tree whose trunk is twisted
deeply contorted, bulbous
place to slumber peacefully
a peaceful pleasure
Pine tree hangs moon on its branches
silent gaze on waterfall
sun on purple mountain peak
a delicate sound
A lake depths accidental
years of degeneration
beneath rock fallen on rock
silent erosion
A boat hidden in a creek
or deep within dark marshland
though maybe stolen away
is considered safe
Long river cascade of stars
mountain rose sits quietly
clouds invited by the wind
within foreign sky
3.)Slumber
Unfillable emptiness
a bottomless canyon gulf
where birds of prey begin flight
tree sits on the edge
To stay cool like autumn day
old age gives me contentment
life gives me a job to do
body gives me place
Echoes of birds weeping spring
along windy slope of stone
a lake cleared by a new rain
stars seem hung by wire
Earth nothing but ruthless gift
place of strife lowest valley
tempest around each corner
few words to describe
As most fish swim upstream
lifes moves gently around me
enjoying “uncontrolled ease”
wandering mountains
Along green landscaping
Canadian Geese return
wader these suburban streets
under hazy moon
