No Questions to Ask


If I am a pianist,
where does the music go
when I have no piano to play?

If I am a gardener,
where do the flowers bloom
when I have no garden to plant?

If I am a teacher,
where do the lessons land
when I have no students to teach?

If I am a mountaineer,
where do the footprints lead
when I have no mountain to climb?

If I am a seeker,
where does the truth hide
when I have no questions to ask?

Memories of Trees

We know where the shadow
Went: it evaporated,
Embroidering the silence.

A hundred thousand pines
That tree limbs crossed
And beded ache to be

Evanescent as scent,
An accent on unspoken
But shivering bristles.
