THREE OLD MONK POEMS (9) 


WHAT DO FIREFLIES

What do fireflies know
that crickets don't,
the old monk wondered.
They both know summer.

YOU KNEW

You knew who I was
when you opened the gate,
the old monk said
to his disappointed host.

~

WHEN YOU FEEL

When you feel
the earth tremble,
the old monk says,

that is the mountain's
final message.
