Kinzeraba, The Holy Treasure

Observe a kernel of light
in darkness learn
goodness discovered within evil
live until death
fully ever
a role for human beings
in cosmic explosions

Growth in the world
two branches of olive
meeting across
four sides of the universe
draped in pure shimmering silk
the book of life
first to last pages flutter full

Great blessings rise up
all colors streaming
from light and water
comes expansive
life

Light

Switching on at work
darkest day just beginning
power gratitude

Paws & Hooves

Together paws and hooves
pounding
the frozen landscape
wearing a path
where they sprint
like a pack of wild ones

Two sleep inside
slumbering on the carpet
near the bed

Two rest outside
laying snuggly together
in a small barn

Meeting in the daylight to dash
and dart paws and hooves
thundering
