THREE OLD MONK POEMS (454) 


SOMETIMES THE WORDS

Sometimes the words
look at each other
and don't know what
to say,
the old monk
told the poet.

~

DO NOT

Do not
lie down and die
before it's time,
the old monk said.
You'll know when.

~

IT'S NOT AS IF

It's not as if
this soul is
the only one
you have,
the old monk said.
