I love
The colours
Of the sky
The colours
Of the sky
The way they dance
Into the day
Lively and so cheerful

Familiar Wisdom
On a journey
To a strange land
With strange customs
Where nothing seemed familiar
To a strange land
With strange customs
Where nothing seemed familiar
I re-encountered Buddha
Long obscured for me
Made strange by the confines
Of my culture familiar
Guardians & Goldenrod
I dream
Of guardians
In goldenrod armour
Of guardians
In goldenrod armour
In countenance: fierce
But whose hearts
Have the gentleness
Of brushed cotton
Parallel Worlds
Travelling
I began to believe
In parallel worlds
I began to believe
In parallel worlds
Never did I suspect
So many realities
Could coexist
Stop :: Rewind :: Play
I become attached
To what was
Replay it
Over and over
To what was
Replay it
Over and over
Wishing it
Each time
To be
Different
Waiting ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #19
I wait
For the flood tide of tourists
Arriving on buses
Destined for Islands
And secluded beaches
For the flood tide of tourists
Arriving on buses
Destined for Islands
And secluded beaches
Carrying their openness
And prejudice
With equal tenacity
Conscious only
Of their openness
Tha Tien
I am sitting over a bowl of Tom Yum soup and a Singha, both a perfect antidote for heat and humidity. Large prawns spooned out of an oily, spicy broth. Baby corn cobs, fresh picked, are an explosion of flavour, like an entire cob of spring corn in a single bite. I chill my burning lips with a draft from the Singha, an ice cold lager which makes up with chill effervescence what it lacks in taste.
Calm ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #16
There is a moment
Between what has been
And what will come
When the hectic falls away
Between what has been
And what will come
When the hectic falls away
A time to reflect
A time to bask
A time to collect
And recollect
As if a god had decided
On a dreary grey day
On the Andaman Sea
The sky opened up
And sunlight poured through
On the Andaman Sea
The sky opened up
And sunlight poured through
Sharp rays raking the dull air
Faith ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #12
A flower bloom
Of porcelain
A dozen tiles
Or more
Of porcelain
A dozen tiles
Or more
A stupa grand
And towering
Each tile placed
By hands of men
