WHISPER NOT

Whisper not
in my ear
I'm totally deaf
though you speak
so near.

ROLL-CALL

Roll-call
I was the luckiest
my name
was not on the list.

JUST A ROSE

A rose
just a rose
only a rose
a tiny rose
hidden
under a bridge
noticed
by none

I stoop
to smell it
it suddenly moves
(no breeze is blowing)
I think
it's saying:
'you gladden me
I'll bloom
just for you
may all your life
be blessed
by beauty'.

A RARE MOMENT

A rare moment of insight
could be worth more than
the knowledge acquired over a whole life-time.

THIS BEGS DEFINITION

who is stupid?

what is being foolish?

NOT KNOWING

Those who do not know

KNOWING

Those who know
are not necessarily
the wiser
