A Clear Night (For My Grandmother)
As I gazed into your brown eyes, you stared pensively at the crescent moon
In the stagnant, starless sky, engrossed, in peace with the Invisible
Overlooking the
Horizon as if you were Lao Tzu peering at the world on a stony mountain
Knowing what is within you, I've always admired your quiet courage
Like a punching
Bag, you absorbed all of life's cruel blows without complaint
Keeping everything inside...
A maze without an exit from itself, a piano without keys. Throughout
Your graceful years, you have overcome and endured
Thus transforming yourself like an ancient rock chiseled into
Its own unique shape, becoming indestructible, a brilliant Jade
I realized much of your wisdom
Came from not trying to understand... For you
The world was simply world
And nothing needed to be explained
In the stagnant, starless sky, engrossed, in peace with the Invisible
Overlooking the
Horizon as if you were Lao Tzu peering at the world on a stony mountain
Knowing what is within you, I've always admired your quiet courage
Like a punching
Bag, you absorbed all of life's cruel blows without complaint
Keeping everything inside...
A maze without an exit from itself, a piano without keys. Throughout
Your graceful years, you have overcome and endured
Thus transforming yourself like an ancient rock chiseled into
Its own unique shape, becoming indestructible, a brilliant Jade
I realized much of your wisdom
Came from not trying to understand... For you
The world was simply world
And nothing needed to be explained
