#2497 -- Arashiyama

Arashiyama

 

what if the mountain were made of a storm?

 

leaves fled the tree

 

hear the river

come down to it

along beside

 

up trudge

at times be lit

 

there are its narrow streets

walls mud

 

what if a roof were told of cloud?

 

if a tree were all days before?

 

what if the day blew off?

 

night crouched just here

hid from the stars

 

what if the grass grew over the clock?

 

time is a picture of the clock run dry

 

old knowledge is the place now gone

 

lamps yet to show our faith that the sun

 

what if the dark were a dream

close your eyes!

 

ask!

 

what if the storm were a mountain?

as often at sea we are

 

the singing of children – none so wise

a first sutra

 

unfold the hours just here

so scribe

 

what if the moment passed?
