TANKA WRITTEN SITTING ON THE DOCK OF OTIS’S BAY

Ah, Solitude

My life raft, my lifeline

Photo by Sven Mieke on Unsplash

Life rafts at breath’s dock.
Stars behind sky’s blue curtain.
There. Respite. Rescue.
Songs and squalls of others stilled –
composed, I note my wild own.

Paper Poetry

A Tribute to Thich Nhat Hanh

The prostrate body of a bald, elderly man with his eyes closed, his head on a white pillow, and his body covered in a tan-colored sheet. A crowd of people, many wearing the yellow or brown robes of a monk surround the body. Bright yellow daisies form a border around the image.
