long walks in silence
alone, but never lonely
forest path rises up
fresh insight flares inside me–
all thought is impermanent

Thanks Z. Glad you like it. After 4 years on Blogger and the old site, I decided it was time to move on. Hope you are well.
Love your new site. Got here by accident (serendipity?) and am having a wonderful romp. Thanks friend. …Z
Thanks for stopping back, Amias. I agree with your point about probing to learn. I try to do the same.
Andrew thanks.
MysticSaint, welcome back. Your path sounds like a beautiful one.
ah! beautiful.
reminds me my walk in deep jungle path of east malaysia, mouont kinabalu.
very nice!
Thanks Don!
I came back to tell you I had did a little thinking and did discovered that it was a Buddist idea via searching the Internet.
The thing I enjoy most about poetic thoughts, is when I learn from them. I hate to say, “oh yes, another good one” … to me that’s an insult. So I try hard to see what the poet is trying to impart and how it relates to my thinking —
This piece was short, but profound to say the least, especially the last line!
Enjoyed my stay, and your new blog is nicer to the eyes.
Thanks Floots. Well said. Your poem today was superb. Truly it is.
Amias, thanks so much for coming by and leaving a comment on my new poetry blog. The concept that thoughts are impermanent is a Buddhist idea. It simply means that thought is grounded in nothing permanent. Our minds drift from thought to thought, and at times we cling too much to what we think and in so doing attempt to make them permanent. That’s all.
Polona, thanks. From a Master of Haiku and other related forms, I appreciate your comment.
love this one!
No, you didn’t have me going for a moment! Once can not stop their soul from expessing itself.
“all thought is impermanent”
I am at a lost, for indeed, it has been my understanding that “thoughts” are creative, and every thought creates whatever that thought is. So this line lost me — and no I got to do some hard thinking.
on the right day all moves are in the right direction
(sadly the opposite also applies) 🙂
cheers
Thanks Dan. Hoping the path rises up to meet and greet you today.
Thanks Aurora. Hopefully I am moving in the right direction.
Definitely got some personal reflection in this one. 🙂
Thanks for the beautiful reminder!
