I love this little oriental form with a syllable count of 5-7-5. It's becoming increasingly popular in the West and these little seeds can form the basis of profound meditations. Each one is a stand-alone.
Flowing like water,
this is the one iron rule:
Seek the black-belt mind.
You can not be work.
You can not be what you do.
You have to be more!
Pynchon Borges Dick
Eco Calvino Wilber.
Like lights in the dark.
Do not be afraid.
Do not let fear take deep root
in your soul’s garden.
Money will leave you.
Fame too will abandon you.
Only love endures.
Soft skin close and safe.
Warm lips pressed against lips;
don’t forget such joy.
Of all the virtues,
a simple act of kindness
re-shapes the whole world.
Ride to the next hill!
Though armies stand against you,
have faith and prevail.
You are not your car.
You are not your clothes or house.
You are smoke in wind.
I love like sunlight,
like moonlight kisses water,
like wind strokes the grass.
