      • 01 This planet is but a bead
      • 02 The first day I met you
      • 03 When you are near
      • 04 I have lost that pen
      • 05 One day on a mountain ridge
      • 06 Fine gold dust
      • 07 While the moon still pulses in the snow
      • 08 Blessed One
      • 09 The deer are grazing in the night grass
      • 10 When the lily blooms
    • Road to the Dark Trees
      • 11 Loon’s cry
      • 12 Road to the Dark Trees
      • 13 There is a canyon for grief
      • 14 In the music we cannot hear
      • 15 Why stand among apple trees
      • 16 The Vedas are still being written
      • 17 Once I dreamed of summer
      • 18 How trees embrace other trees
      • 19 There is a great discourse among trees
      • 20 Winter is the master of mime
      • 21 Much of my life I cannot see
      • 22 It is enough to stand among trees
      • 23 Hey! Go deep into the woods
      • 24 Ten thousand year old meditation
    • The Divine Thief
      • 25 There is a dancer
      • 26 My brother the soul
      • 27 Windows want for us to see through them
      • 28 Mala
      • 29 Why not take a ride in this boat?
      • 30 Bathing in the Ganges
      • 31 Divine Thief
      • 32 Quiet is the Innermost House

I have lost that pen

I have lost that pen
I used to write so many poems to you.
It’s on a trail somewhere,
a mountain ridge in spring greening now
with leaves of oak, sumac.
I’m not concerned.
Each day your hand moves across
the vast page of love
sowing poems and songs like seeds
in the endless fields of my soul.
