The Well-Worn Path [Haiku]

a crisp trail
worn into the grass;
i move, butterfly-like.

Infinite Golden Buddhas [Free Verse]

Infinite golden Buddhas
 stretch along the path.

Each step occurs
 in the presence of one
 and the presence of all
 and the presence of none --
  simultaneously.

The Way [Haiku]

the mountain trail rounds
from shady to sunny side,
where caves line the path.

Hidden Path [Haiku]

the path that runs
 through the millet field is
  only seen head-on. 

Forest Stupa [Tanka]

a stone monument
stands on the forest path;
i stop,
paying my respects
to the unknown esteemed

Naked Days [Haiku]

trees stripped bare -
the walker, once hidden,
is exposed to sky

The Metaphorical Path [Tanka]

the trail curves.
what's around the bend?
i don't know -
it's a better 
metaphor than a route
