Sun Power Haiku

Wake, and bless the sun

Source of light,

energy,

hope

There is much to worship...

Breaking through...

a single ray of sunshine,

warmth on my face

a temple’s eternal light

eternal blessings...

no one can stop me shine

Lotus Haiku

Like rain drops

on lotus leaves...

Friendships are

So fragile,

even whispers

Disintegrate them.

Terra Amata - J.M.G. Le Clézio

The world was too alive, you couldn't defeat it.

Space had too much space, time too many seconds, days, weeks, milennia.

You could no longer do anything to understand.

You could no longer meet the frightening gaze of the absolute. (...)

You had to dive head-first into vertigo and work, love, hate, suffer, be happy, kill, give birth because there was nothing else to do.

J.M.G. Le Clézio: Terra Amata

Cartea de nisip

Undeva, in visul ei era vara...

A presarat nisip peste iarba uscata.

"Sunt scantei, nu nisip!" le-a spus celor din jur.

... Cartea de nisip.

........

La un moment dat Tzinacan are un vis:

“am visat ca pe pardo­seala temnitei se afla un fir de nisip.

Am adormit din nou, indiferent, am visat ca ma trezesc si ca vad doua fire de nisip.

Am adormit din nou iar firele se facusera trei.

S-au inmultit asa pâna când au umplut cu totul temnita si se facea ca eu muream sub apasarea lor.

Am inteles ca visez si cu un efort urias m-am desteptat.

Desteptarea a fost zadarnica. Nenumaratul nisip ma sufo­ca.

Cineva imi spusese: nu te-ai trezit cu adevarat, ci numai intr-un vis anterior.

Acest vis se afla in altul si tot asa pâna la infinit.

Vei muri inainte sa te fi trezit cu adevarat.

Atunci mi-am spus ca nici nisipul din vis nu va putea sa ma ucida si nici vise nu exista care sa stea inauntrul altor vise.

Atunci s-a trezit cu adevarat”

(Borges, 1978, 67).
