Seeing Haiku

is it Buddha

that glistens
or the seeing?

falling leaves
thoughts disperse
no-place

ah! what relief

attention reversed

finding no-thing

mind is rain

falling nowhere

eternal downpour

I am lost

in your baby eyes

innocent gaze

perfect sickness

aware space

watching 'as is'

a butterfly

is awareness

flitting within

cicada calls

drawing attention

back home

the black cup

resplendently

empty

looking here

no-one's found

except you

the forest is full

of chanting voices

and yet still...

this old body

sprouts into

the ageless

a face stares

from a puddle

at nothingness

the lizard

is stillness

manifest

cacophonous

noises arise

in silence

we merge

in the presence

of your face

back and forth

walking

in eternity
