Koon Woon ----- Notes to myself (poem)

Notes to myself, good in any case

Shorten the bad memories to lengthen your life

Let embers of love and fire softly die

Let not the past escape its perimeter

So that today’s spring rain signifies spring

Be you a frog then patrol the swamp

Be you a lotus then cover the pond

Suffered you a bad night here comes dawn

Make this a habit to always look beyond

Surely as there are concentric rings to Hell

Beyond Heaven there are innumerable heavens more

Let not your desires be trapped on earth

Let go all and as a dragon heavenward soar

Truth Comes Again

Truth.
It came,  passed, in an instant.
10 years more to state it.
10 more to analyze it.
10 more to debate it
10 more to refute it.
10 more to discard it.
10 more to forget it.

Truth.
It came again.
A new generation to hear it.
It came, passed, in an instant.
10 year more to state it…..
 

Intoxification

So familiar.

Dad’s home from work.
Smiling mom, so beautiful.
Glass in hand.

Kids so happy. Dancing.
Hopping on Daddy’s lap.

Tickling, laughing. Giggling.

Dinner.
Pleasing to the eye.
So delicious.

Relaxing in front of the TV.
Nice show.
So inspiring.

Time to turn off this episode.
We’ll watch reruns again tomorrow.
