THREE OLD MONK POEMS (129) 


THE JOY

The joy
in going
up the mountain

is going
up the mountain,
the old monk says.

~

WHEN THE DARKNESS

When the darkness
calls you, hold to

the stone of the mountain
and to the light

within it,
the old monk says.

~

THIS IS HOW

This is how I live,
writing one line at a time.
This is how I will die, too,
the old monk said.
