Still Life

for Benard Meninsky

dark fruit

hard and autumnal

beyond grey

be empty

to perfection

devoted to silence

in all things at home

[Master K-tops]

Short but full of wisdom.

i especially like the line 'be empty to perfection'.....the poem sounds like a mantra...thank you for sharing :)

[Ed Hart]

she taught me the word 'equanimous', and i have been disappearing ever since...the old masters left us much to finally not think about

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i feel like i'm beyond grey...i really like the last stanza...it is like saying give yourself up to perfection and in silence there is a certain perfection....as we just savor what we have...no need for words to express...we shall just grow autumnal.

Zen and the art of composition. Perfect.

A short but vivid piece with wonderful imagery.
