Noir, a haiku

my world holds a truth
black and white; or right and wrong
hinge on intention

Shadows, a haiku

Form, inseparable
from its shadow, dark, which is
dependent on light

Rainbows, a haiku

dependent effect
light, water and cloud appear
seven colours clear

No Comments on Never think about others’ faults

If I search wisely
I find all living beings
only to be kind

If I wish to cease
finding fault with all beings
I must fix my mind

I cannot lay blame
with any other being
I must purify
