Zen Bastard

A poem inspired by a more than single serving friend

 

Twisting, Twisting, Twisting, Twisting
Down a winding spiral shaft
and Wishing Wishing Wishing Wishing
That these stairs will surely pass
Never over, always under
As we travel streets Below
connected to a causal mind
Downloading all the things they know
Moving in and setting down
Information in their stride
And, opened, waiting, minds elating
For knowledge poured upon this mind
They freely share to those in longing
for Zen and Buddha, Willow and Stream
As Freely Freely Freely Freely
We fall through clouds within our dreams

you bring a fresh perspective to how the world is seen through poetry.

This has been a common comment on my poems. They seem so normal to me. That is an amazing compliment.

Fits my mood today, with the reminder that order encourages chaos, and chaos leads to peace:)

Great poem, Dusty:)

Is there a specific reason you only want to post one in a day? I do not think anyone will get upset if you post more. Another excellent poem! Thanks once again for sharing!

I have a finite amount of pre written stuff, and I am trying to stretch it out, and allow myself to write more in between. There will come a day when I am putting out more, most likely. I am just pacing myself :)
