Newsletter of the Zen Society of New Zealand, #19, Spring 1988, pp. 5 NOTES: Sesshin Poems and other Poems by Members and Visitors of the Zen Society of New Zealand Gently blows the darkness linking lake moon and sun one into the other The pathway grows silvered with our effort grass subdued petal scattered with each pass of our unsteady feet It does not seem like enligtenment to burden this clear day of autumn with the activity of our sitting How brifgtly glimers that moon caught in the evening cup of our steadied hands ! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- end of file
