There must be a middle way between tradition and change, including loss of language. It is better to save what we can than to lose it all.






He Lurks in the Shadows

He lurks in the shadows
at the edge of reality,
as if entering
from another
stage.
He is unknown
and unrecognized,
and only disguised
by a hat.
His spectral shape
moves through the night,
and thrives
in a waning light,
until he vanishes
just like
that!

Ask him your answers,
for questions he would tell,
like a rosary's
shining beads.

The Desire Body

The desire body
is also the illusion
body, a collection
of atoms,
mostly space,
held together
by the bedrock
of divinity.
