THREE OLD MONK POEMS (297) 


WHERE THE LIGHT

Where the light
comes in --

go there,
the old monk said.

That's the window.
If you can't

see out, it gets
pretty lonely.

YOU CAN LOOK

You can look into it,
but never touch the fire,

the old monk told
the visiting spirits.

THINK HOW LONG

Think how long
you get to love
what you love,
the old monk said,
then you die.
