summer sunlight sparkles on the sea; a boat rocks idly

Bliss / Comfort [Common Meter]
There is no breath that's like a breath
that's taken three miles high.
And never so deep was a sleep
after days of light in eye.
And water is the most beloved
when burning thirst is slaked.
To starving souls no gourmet meal
e'er bested bread, fresh baked.

Leaf Enlightened [Common Meter]
I stared, and stared, into a leaf
until my vision changed.
And I could see the whole, wide world
so artfully arranged.
The leaf, it mapped my universe
from atom to the sprawl.
Compressed, layer-on-layer, there
was one and, at once, all.
But before I could grasp all that
this vision truly meant,
a gust of wind did catch that leaf,
and fluttering it went.

Seed Spitting Deity [Tanka]
morning offering with a melon wedge; a bas-relief face seems to have bitten a chunk, and is prepared to spit seeds.
