‘Haiku of Righteous Thought’ and Other Poetry by Jason William Larsen The Society August 29, 2015 Beauty, Haiku and Senryu, Poetry 1 Comment Haiku of Righteous Thought Inspired by Dafa Karma turned virtue Evil eliminated Virtue travels home Foe falls defeated Demon laughter quieted Perpetual peace Heaven earth conjoin Restoring eternity Missions completed The Hazy Way of Shades of Grey When caught in the haze Inside shades of grey Navigate the way Compass night or day Find the source of light Discern wrong from right Down in the valley Or up on the heights When lost in the midst Adrift in the mist Grasping open hands Swinging fists that miss Venomous snakes hiss Placing on the dish The apple of eye Temptation of bliss This bliss never lasts Eating breaks the fast Stomach turns and churns Teeth crash and gnash Hungry actions rash Sparks desire’s burn Lessons unlearned Life falls in a flash Featured Image: “In Harmony” by Xiaoping Chen. Description from Falunart.org: This painting depicts a young woman doing the fifth exercise of Falun Gong, “Way of Strengthening Divine Powers.” The clear water and blue sky reflect her tranquility and give a feeling of her union with heaven while she meditates.
