Achilles and the Tortoise

Tuesday, December 12, 2006

The phlegmatic stone
sitting on top of a hill
dead yet very safe

Risking it all by
rolling down the slope of life
jumping out of joy

Flying high above
the madness of the surface
chasing happiness

Like a distraught bird
trying to chase the horizon
for eternity

Majestic mountain
wearing a white fluffy hat
flirting with my heart

The envious lake
distorting itself trying
to undo the real

The sky and the earth
kissing at the horizon
for eternity

Whispering secrets
with winds as their messenger
sans expectations

Cleansing mother earth;
Touching her beautiful face
with his soft fingers

Sun taking refuge
in the goddess's white heart
weeping silently

Unable to bear
the quality of others
against their nature

Cantankerous frogs
jumping into a calm lake
creating ripples

A small blade of grass
living alongside a tree
saying yes to life

An ecstatic heaven
showering them with rainbows
completing the whole
