tid sah (Tom Atlee),  1969

          25          

Home

away from reasons ruling being
from why such is or shouldnt be
to watch where handless waves
     swirl praying

but a doubtful breeze
shivers the trees
and whispering turns to go
then as i rise
the prayerful tides
reach up and wash away my words
smoothing over
     what i asked to know
but leaving the quest mark
     undisturbed
