Feather Brooms

Folder: 
Buddhist

Day by day the vine

has crept

While others slept

.. up the trellis

she has stepped..

and where climatis

has for joy

her petaled blooms wept

Buddhists have only

with feather brooms swept





CALYX



The tree is dead

and now its logs

are calyxed

where the firetongues

have licked..

as jewels are by

settings, as

rosebuds are

by green petals.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The Buddhist prayer
May all that have life
be delivered from suffering.. is interpreted by monks to apply to insects and plants as well
as well
