8 Tanka: 'Mindful words...'

Mindful words convince

impressing every one around

of one's own greatness.

I wish all words would vanish -

leaving space for final sense.



Words thrown into space

feeding hungry minds - though(t) full

all makes sense - nonsense!

Hunters shoot to all what moves -

killer instinct satisfied.



Words make one angry -

strongly confirmed existence:

chain reaction caused.

Chickens searching for worms

fat and happy laying eggs.



Hidden behind words

mind's sophisticated flow:

precious self - confirmed.

Roosters crowing day and night

announcing their existence.



Oceans full of words

sailing through their meanings

life long longing for deep sense.

Full moon - desperate howling dogs

answer comes back - others howl.



Words - meaning-symbols -

mind's old established concepts

worn out - but still used.

Cats are still go on purring

even though when near to die.



Having the last word

gives strength and self confidence

knowing - best defense.

Donkey's call is heard above

nightingale's song fades away.



Going beyond words?

Leaving all behind oneself

Sense beyond one's mind?

Dolphin's words can touch one's heart

just being in their presence...
