From Diary Of A Vision Quest (Haibun) Poem by Thomas James Martin

From Diary Of A Vision Quest (Haibun)



In the gathering darkness of evening, I watch the stars come out and wait for the moon to rise until finally I begin to nod off. Unable to keep my eyes open to view the moon, I go to the tent, turn down my sleeping bag cover and turn in, planning to awaken in the wee hours of the morning to see the full moon of Wesak.

Soon I forget
the river's song
in the moonrise
I listen again
