WIND CHIMES
As the Wind is soundless
but made differing
sounds and sighs
in
the zither
in the chimes,
in the harp of bamboo
or in
the forest pines
so Spirit
is One but takes
on different
hues and shapes
and fragrances
in its different
instruments
*
(to Saisa, a woman of
uncommon power, generosity, and kindness)
WIND CHIMES II
Not in ordered fashion
does the wind tell time..
His Spirit's arrival
rings in wind chimes
*
MERCY MADE MANIFEST
God's mercy is made
manifest
in every mango and manna feast
