handmade virgin paper
invites
a poem;

a single brush stroke
capturing
the beginning and endlessness
of Creation,

the essence of time’s
labour
all released by a
bamboo brush

giving form/meaning to an abstraction,
creating tangible realities
full experiences
flowing
in abundance.

a single stroke
that continues forever
weaving through
myriad worlds, dimensions
and emotions;

never turning back,
forging ever forward
outward
expanding constantly
a high-way
that delivers more
than its initial promise.

characters magically
appear on the page,
vertically and horizontally;
patterns/sigils form
inviting all that seek
the rarest prize,
the ultimate challenge
to try their luck and
perhaps Free themselves.

no need
to feel your way in the dark
simply open your mind,
heart,
eyes
and see/feel LOVE
saturating
Existence
