THREE OLD MONK POEMS (269)
IT IS NOT
It is not
that I want
to be holy,
it is that
I have
touched God,
the old monk said.
~
YOU GO UP
You go up the mountain
and ascend into the Presence
through a whole in the sky.
The Presence is like us
except it is light.
We are merely crystals.
When you come back to us
you will be filled with light.
This is what the old monk said.
This is what he believes.
~
TO BE LEFT-
To be left-
handed is
to be blessed,
the old monk says.
