Wading Birds Poem by nimal dunuhinga

Wading Birds

Rating: 5.0


Cranes and Herons fly in the twilight sky
A loon idles at a riverbank,
Full Moon peeps like a new coin to illuminate the dark side of life
And the ferryman shouts; 'Nobody wants to cross the river.'


* That both I and you have had to travel and trudge through the long round is owing to our not discovering, not penetrating the four truths.What four?
They are the noble truth of suffering, the noble truth of the origin of suffering, the noble truth of the cessation of suffering, and the noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering. [The Buddha]

Nimal, my dearest friend, once again a beautiful landscape. It is as if the poet is telling us that he must be heard. And he is right. He has to be heard.
