Toadfish Monastery

Nirvana, I come

+++++++++++++++++++++

Deep in my black heart
There still is a spark of light

Awaiting kindling.



                           



Use the small twigs first
And let the flames build slowly

Watch flames grow higher

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Our morning coffee
Dark brown and aromatic

But I prefer tea

########################

The tree has gone old
The axe is laid to its roots

It's acorns will sprout.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



Rain stains the trunks black
And rinses the golden leaves

Soon there will be snow


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


Stars shining brightly
Over mountains and forrests

Spirit eye blessings

When I think of you
I know I am not alone

And I never was...




^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Old people somehow
Learn to value young people

And the circle turns.

The sun puts it's head
On it's horizon pillow

Sets slowly to sleep

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Turkey and dressing
Food mounded high on table

Pass the Pop-Tarts, please.

===========================


Too lazy to cook,
Too broke to go out to eat.

What am I to do?


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Guacamole dip
Bring on the tortilla chips

Creamy green yum-yum!


           


Bring starlight inside
of your house, your mind, your heart

Maybe I can get the haikus going again...



A little blessing




Once upon a time
Fairies, ogres, unicorns


(Edited to delete "and" from last sentance- one syllable too many.)

Heard tales about us!







Now is the season
To pass along old wisdom
