an eternal situation

an eternal situation

she asks the question

do you want to stay

to which he answers

do you want me to

in those moments

a lasting connection is made

the bond of which is love

our third setting

our third setting

this time using imagination

it is a village fair

down the hill around the green

there are no dodgems

for this is a community affair

with coconut shies and ducking stools

families gather

with and without introspection

some together and some set apart

i do have a photograph

i do have a photograph

to continue the story

a mother leaning on a wall

watching her son playing

how we are fascinated

by the distance

between those seen

and those not seen

i do not have a photograph

i do not have a photograph

to begin this journey

instead the sounds

of a lively flowing river

possibly in spate

sets us on our way

it is springtime or early summer

on a saturday much as this

without thoughts

without thoughts

without words

how do i make

my protestations

but it’s what you wanted isn’t it

on this

thoughtless

friday morning


yet to travel

to dhamma dipa

in the presence of beauty

is itself a blessing
