Zen Thoughts

Am I thinking clearly?

Are you?

What is in the brain of a dog?

His tail wags when spoken too

 

Meditation of the transcendental

Music of the oriental

Thoughts so sentimental

Only do I enjoy instrumental

Otherwise I find it detrimental



The dead can and do dance

They feel and have felt romance

Dead and gone is only a term

They have moved to a higher plane in advance

 

Pain don’t hurt

Learn what you will from this old pervert

In life and love he is not very alert

Though he tries like hell not to overexert

 

Love thoughts

Mainly taught

Life without love is naught

Love without life can make one distraught


Am I herein ranting

Perhaps I should be chanting

Never religiously will you hear of me recanting

I am here to tell you that I find of my beliefs

In Zen, to be quite altogether enchanting

                              “NAMASTE”

Namaste sound like danasty to me, but whot'da I know. It IS good to find that plane for your own peace of mind, that's for sure. Pervert, huh? Who'da thunk it?
