Throw away the thoughts that make
you sad, they will not exist if you leave
them behind, don't think of things that will never make the light brighter
along the way.
How long it takes to hollow out a log
to make a vase for some bamboo shoots
for a corner of a dark cold room, surely
is worth all the effort making something
beautiful looking beautiful from the heart.
Food for thought is food for the imagination
creator of majestic impossibilities possible.
Little bits of light to shine up a lonely spot
hiding away in your heart.
In case you stumble down the cliff of
memories you should have dismissed
many years back, now leave those
memories, the cliff is being worn down
by the waters of time.
It will now be perfect to give everything
and every one an honorable discharge
on command.
