POET'S CORNER

HAIKU

(Dharma name:  Satya

(A haiku is a type of short-form poem that originated in Japan. Haiku poems are typically written in three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. They are unrhymed, but some poets may choose to rhyme the first and third lines for added challenge. Haiku poems often focus on nature or the seasons, and emphasize simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression.)

TRUTH STEPS SHARP AND CLEAR

   OVER SHARD'S BROKEN IDEAS

     CONSCIOUSNESS AT WORK.

      THE WINDS OF MIND BLOW

AS THOUGHTS GATHER IN SILENCE --

      HEARING THE GREAT VOID.

        A THOUGHT HAS NO FORM

AND YET IS HEAVIER THAN WEIGHTS

          THAT HANG ON MY NECK.

     THE LIE IS OBVIOUS

ONLY TO THE ONE AWAKE,

  LIES TRICK THE ASLEEP.

       TRANSLATION EXISTS

IN MIND ALONE WITHOUT FORM

        AND YET IT IS TRUTH.
