Poems

 

 

Deep is the night
In a valley of forests in Korea.

You sit and sing,
Your fingers playing the mandolin
Point skyward to invite the moon.
I see the moon pause high in the sky.

When you rise to leave, 
And the melody ceases,
I see the moon emerge from samadhi,
As fast as a meteor races to the horizon.
