Zen Poems
A flake in isolation (05/03/2019)
by Hendrico Valentijn
Dwindling through the air.
I am not convinced it's fair.
From whence comes this cold icy wind?
Ignorance; frigidly frozen.
In aftermath, my vision I'll rescind.
The glassy path I haven't chosen.
The past winter my friend.
In the avalanche I stand.

Someday (Zen)
by Peter Dr Lim
Some Day (Zen)
Some day we shouldn’t be speaking
to learn the meaning of silence, to free
ourselves of insipid uttering
words to avoid- our infested mind to vacate
to cease thinking and be totally empty
there's time left still, it will not be too late-
a new life we’ll begin to celebrate
......
From my book on Zen
by Peter Dr Lim
When everything is nothing
and nothing is everything
that's the moment of truth.
I share the joy and laughter of happy faces,
but sad ones linger for a long time in my mind.
There's a latent candle in every heart
that awaits to be lighted.

A Zen Moment
by Peter Dr Lim
This is a pure Zen moment:
the emptiness is the fullness
the nothingness is the ripeness
and the letting go
is the best way to know
21st Century Zen
by Peter Dr Lim
This is a sure way
of being happy:
laugh at yourself
be a nobody
