Squirrel Mountain Zen
Full
moon
Silent,
serene, eloquent.
Swirling
mother-of-pearl clouds.
Winter
black tree branches
Brushing
sweeping inky fingers
On
the luminous night sky.
Wood
stove sparking, crackling,
Whispering
soft snatches of forgotten melody.
A
small figure of a Buddha
Flickers
in the candle light.
Vibrant
silence
Sentient
silence
Abundant,
eloquent silence
Prescient
silence.
Full
moon silence, pregnant with all words ….
Zen.
