Jesus wrote nothing.
The Buddha wrote nothing.

Things unknown
But longed for still

Maya Angelou
Maya. Still.

The moon at night
Makes me thrill

I'm unknown
Thy will. Thy will.

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved. Except in memory. Live long and prosper.

Is the most beautiful garden in the USA

The Chinese scholar's garden also cool
Nee Hao and still Xie Xie

Powell City of Books
To improve your mind

Now can you see why Trump would attack?
He's the violent blind.

O Portland!  Fare forward! Design.

The Daoist hermits just barely write
A couple poems, maybe a recipe

The live alone in the mountains
They eat oranges and drink tea

They live alone in the mountains
So often silently

The Way they live is hidden
Unspoken, non-violently

And one must have patience

Step by step by step by step
Walking hallows alone

So are the Knights of Columbus

Cristobal Colon - izer was a fool for fame
And a tyrant come among us

He cut out the tongue of a native woman
Who dared to challenge his power

He approved of slavery and genocide
Goodbye, he's had his hour

History might be a mystery
The times they are a-changin'

The Wheel is still in spin
Time now for new namin'
