HERMIT DAYDREAMS

(1)
W/OUT WORDS
SMALL LIGHTS
LEAD THE WAY

(2)
QUIET STEPS
IMMENSE INTERVALS
ON STAIRS

(3)
SPRING NIGHT
CONSIDERING
BIRDSONG & RAIN

(4)
MOMENT BY MOMENT
EXCURSIONS INTO
THE NIGHT SKY

(5)
HERMIT DAYDREAMS
NOT LOOKING
NOT LISTENING

(6)
ONLY GOD COULD
STOP THESE THOUGHTS
STOP THIS MUSIC

  1. Dear Bede, Admire yr steadfast routines... As we age the old legs creak the more, but up them stairs you continue to climb... Good on ya! We might request that you be excused the higher levels. No pun intended. Blessings, Mert

  3. Yes, "Bede" and "Merty" part of the pantheon....Chinese hermit-poet-monks pasting scraps of poems to the walls during a night of serious drinking more like it....am not Rabelasian, however...more Dogen via Uchiyama Roshi..."a violet can never manifest as a rose."
