Poets are those who love,--who feel great truths, And tell them.

Zen Poem

by Chad
Snow City Arts

Who
is asking?
The statue.

The wave
and the sea are one.
They’re the same.

Gaze at the stars,
but walk on the earth,
Looking at the stars at night.

A mind is only absolutely pure
when it is above purity and impurity,
When your mind is pure, like good soul.

The seeds of the past
are the fruits of the future,
like old people will teach the new people.

Water is the one essence, but drunk by a cow it
becomes milk, drunk by a snake it becomes poison.
Cows aren’t good and snakes aren’t bad.
