8 Tanka: 'Mindful words...'
Mindful words convince
impressing every one around
of one's own greatness.
I wish all words would vanish -
leaving space for final sense.
Words thrown into space
feeding hungry minds - though(t) full
all makes sense - nonsense!
Hunters shoot to all what moves -
killer instinct satisfied.
Words make one angry -
strongly confirmed existence:
chain reaction caused.
Chickens searching for worms
fat and happy laying eggs.
Hidden behind words
mind's sophisticated flow:
precious self - confirmed.
Roosters crowing day and night
announcing their existence.
Oceans full of words
sailing through their meanings
life long longing for deep sense.
Full moon - desperate howling dogs
answer comes back - others howl.
Words - meaning-symbols -
mind's old established concepts
worn out - but still used.
Cats are still go on purring
even though when near to die.
Having the last word
gives strength and self confidence
knowing - best defense.
Donkey's call is heard above
nightingale's song fades away.
Going beyond words?
Leaving all behind oneself
Sense beyond one's mind?
Dolphin's words can touch one's heart
just being in their presence...
