Liquid Night



Rose petals fall on the lake
Universe melting
One person gives up something
For someone else
The sun is setting
                                                The sun is rising

Through the ages, all the sages
Tap-dancing, fingers snapping, banjos plunking
Not so mellow saint fingering his prayer beads
Other hand in the jam

Circle of mantras around my neck
White clouds wreathe Music Mountain
Twenty-seven Buddha’s in the chrysanthemums
The pictures of God are alive
