Basho's Footprint
Seek what's been sought by the wise in texts  of glowing poetry, in deep-
 singed blues
 in crypt-hewn runes,
 in deepest breath turned inward, surprising  miles of memory
 in whispered library words
 by monks solitary 
 in solidarity with Muse
 who wanders through all time, e-motion, all  need for meaning
 Seek where your living  leads
 expecting not, nor pleading  for
 rejecting not, nor bleeding  for
 with eyes, with mind, with  hands
 unbound
