    The Jade Sutras

    I. In Jade Relief Within verdant stillness, it breathes—exhalation of peace in stone.Silence carves itself into serenity,each line straightens to temporality.

    • I can tell that trip had a deep impact on you. Love this 4-part piece of work.

    • Beautifully penned, S. Excellent collection of poems my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Libellule, only a poet as gifted as you can take a jade carving and make it into a journey into the heart of timelessness itself. There is truth here that lives and breathes in the air of your poet’s soul.

    Stone Sutra

    Beneath the cedar hush, it stands—this tablet of time, moss-inked and worn,where rain rehearses its calligraphyon every solemn groove of gray.Kanji breathe with quiet resolve,each stroke struck with monk patience,the language of remembered stonerecalling forgotten rhymes anew.No voice speaks,...
