fallen leaves rest on quiet hills
a single robe died in Autumn's chill
red wine shines through forest green
a Bamboo hat a rare beaching
a god carries all weight of none
the god of compassion holds the sky and land
kindness leaves no trace
like footprints in sand
clouds drift on endless roads
our hearts light the trees
with hands and prayer
we greet the world with ease
the world may spin an endless stride
i speak my truth to the wind my life
moonlight dances through bamboo sway
a single lamp keeps the dark at bay
the god of compassion holds the sky and then
kindness leaves no trace
like footprints in sand
clouds drift on endless roads
hearts light the trees
with hands in prayer
we greet the world with ease
no name to car
no gate to find
the wandering monk leaves none behind
freedom follows where i go
a life untethered
a heart a glow
