Cinquain: Besides… February 6, 2008

Who knows
What the new day
Will bring? Dismay or joy?
For me, I seek reprieve, so now
I know

I know
I will attract
What I look at; therefore
I change myself so I reflect
True joy

True joy
Eluded me
Like cloud in hand; but now?
Ah, now I’ve cleared the path so bliss
Is mine

Senryu on the Eight-fold Path January 17, 2008

The true eight-fold path
Inexorably heralds
Pure oneness of mind

Now, laser-focused
The blissful mind welcomes in
Ecstasy and joy
