Lost

Between maps and lands
The traveler's lost
In search of his self 

Steps

How many stones
A thought may pass
To clean the self

Identity

Nothingness in me
As nothingness of your self
Equals something more

Know

Know the light that shines in darkness
And the soul will find its way,
Look at pebbles thus with kindness -
Do not throw them far away.

Know the beauty in her brilliance
And the sorrow in its sway,
Look at petals grow in silence -
Do not cut the rose astray.

Know the love as it surrenders
And the paths it might not lay,
Look the lover who discovers –
Do not disturb in vain the play.

Know the self and all that matters,
Love what settles day by day,
Look the sunrise altogether –
From the ends and starts of May.

Shadows

Whole universes
In shadows of discontent
Image of the self

Bow

When bowing
Bow your self
Further down

Beauty

An unknown beauty

Lets itself undiscovered

So is one's old self 

Call

Call me a rebel

Lost are my causes 

In seas of roses

Call me a river

Lost is the spring well

To destination

Call me a mountain

Lost is the structure

Of my long searching

Call me a human

Lost I am in crowds

Of sound religions

Call me the lightness

Lost is the darkness

Between written words

Call me the soundless

Lost shout out the thoughts

In deepest silence

Don't call me at all

I will find my self

Wherever I am

Mirroring

The river receives
Everything except the self
Of an gone image

Love

Many faces
One's love embraces
But the self

Quest

It looks for saviors
Unable to find thyself
Winds storm in valleys

Primes

Sole images
Of separation
From their selves

Words

In an haiku
The words want to count
More than the self

Solitude

One dies alone
Too proud of the self
Crickets chirping

Wander

One wanders the world
In search of the self
Not knowing the path

Mirroring

Mind upon itself
Mirroring of a mirror
Its self a mirror

Peacefulness

Peace with my self
Who would have thought
It stormed today

Gifts

By giving
You’re helping your self
So am I

Zen

Japanese garden
A monk wiping a cat’s paws
For self-refinement  

[Unnamed]

Inside a world
Outside another
My self the bridge
