ancient castle

forgetfully presses on,

another day awaiting

the final moment, all

glorious pasts are reborn ~

shadows trailing

the paternal silence ~ petals

the maternal light ~

sunlight rhythms

on the lotus leaf ~

the lotus dance begins

shifting light

of infinite eons ~

a tree witness

the succession of pagodas
recurring in mist ~ wait,
not quite recurring!

beyond the last exit

the ethereal wonder of

a banyan's shade?!

rains all night ~

the dawn sky scented

with unknown flowers

withdrawn in memories

past, the glimmer of life

before it was so ~

teaching faded stones

bliss of green ~ dead branches

sprout new leaves

come on, just a few

more steps ~ the cool refuge

of the great banyan

young edelweiss

studying the colours

of fullmoon light

a river of light

innundates

the waiting mountains

blissful earth

lays fragrant in dolorous dreams

the skies empty

but for the quiet spectator sun

the high winds hum

echoes of ancient glories

from their ashen sleep released

in the strange stillness of dawn

the land reverberates

the passing of cosmic times ~

somewhere through mazing paths

a man, hidden approaches

slowly on the divine episode

gait weary with a mysterious burden

agony unfathomable ~

fearless eyes receding

in a deep envelope of blissful light ~

forever arriving, he arrives

before his arrival ~ a procession

of gods and angels

bear him to the summit ~

in his heart evoke a fierce song ~

in the cosmic audience he reveals

the mark of his destiny

in ageless tongues of perfect fire

he proclaims the final hour ~

the voice of light thunders on

the infinite terrain,

and every being engulfed

in the sacred silences listens

every rock and blade of grass

to the immortal call pays heed ~

in the rhythms pouring from his infinite being he shows

the infinite rhythms of all forever ~

deluge of floral

breezes ~ snails race

into dawn sunlight

(slightly edited from)

the sunset ignites
a fiery sky ~ echo of
twilight mantrams
