    Descripton: Esoteric and Comical

    Poems


    First He Looked Confused[edit]

    I could not lie anymore so I started to call my dog "God."
    First he looked
    confused,

    then he started smiling, then he even
    danced.

    I kept at it: now he doesn’t even
    bite.

    I am wondering if this
    might work on
    people?


    I Might Act Serious[edit]

    If God would stop telling jokes
    I might act
    serious.


    A Good Poem[edit]

    A good poem is like finding a hole
    in the palace wall–
    never know what you
    might
    see.


    The Price[edit]

    If you treat the opposite sex with reverence
    will you pay a price?
    If you stop your fault-finding and covetous ways
    will your earnings not suffice?

    If you sit in prayer and meditation
    will it cost a living wage?
    If you trust the words of realized souls
    will your boss forget your pay?

    Is it a burden to pursue wisdom?
    Do you fear the price it brings?
    Tuka says,
    Fools worry about the little stuff.
    Don't they know? God brings everything!
