Word Pictures From an Oasis

A mood in shades of pastel
A little sadness
Sand colours, blues and pinks, the sunlight
And the colour red -as always
Mixed feelings and memories
Loneliness
Limitless and contourless, flowing
A variation on a theme that entices me

Meditative stillness - who will teach me to understand zen
Who will put a hand on my back and say You are somebody
Who will read Shinkichi Takahashi's words to me
Words that are not just words

No chaos, no yearning, just stillness
A calm I both want and do not want
Dare I lose the ground from under my feet yet again
Can earth quake be cleansing
Must I submit, bleed to death in order to find my zenit
Gradually the cirkle appears to be closing
