Nothing really moves at all
the rushing waves are but pushed

but I am hidden in the roots

Your pathways will get blocked
so stay by me

with those two words
make tempest waves
turn to mirror light

I’ve just missed the point

When things go wrong

Posted on November 17, 2014 by Meisaan Chan
 
When things go wrong
keep looking for me, hard at work;
keep seeking the curse that turns into blessing

Thank you for these fragile days

Posted on November 14, 2014 by Meisaan Chan
 
Thank you for these fragile days
each minute nothing but spun filaments of glass
that glisten and dance in your light
but everything passes
shatters and cracks
as it must
for you to gather the shards
and spin each minute 
again

Prayer room

Posted on November 13, 2014 by Meisaan Chan
 
Return to me, whispers the prayer room;
may the fragrance of our prayers mingle,
intertwined, yours and mine
drifting blessedly upward
