temple steps for
positive sings
far from home
ringing Buddha’s bells
mountain temple
so many saints
meditating for
enlightenment
wind rages
every sign teaching
a new story
some endings positive
some endings negative
but every life will
be completed
every story will find
its end
and every birth will
spark a new beginning
but every single time
there will exist
the question
_Who am I?_
I have previously written poems, short poems, haikus, and tankas, and they have been published in a variety of online journals and blogs such as Under the Basho, Triya Magazine, Haikuniverse, Mainichi Haiku, Daily Haiku, the African Haiku Network, Cold Moon Journal, Cattails Journal, Poetry Potion, Enchanted Garden Haiku, Autumn Moon Journal, King River Press, so on and so forth. I have also dabbled in writing Haikus in Japanese, submitting them to Haikutown (haikutown.jp).
