Sculpture by Satish Gupta
Four haiku and a sculpture by Satish Gupta, India
From the Bo tree
a golden leaf floats down
– meditating
in mid air
Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka
***
Water flowing,
no time to pass judgment
on uneven boulders
Kyoto, Japan – Kashmir
***
In the amber sky
a flock of wild geese,
the young one
– out of step
Kamakura, Japan
***
Observing the silence
in the prayer hall,
even the butterfly
– stops fluttering
Mandalay, Birma
* The Bo or Bodhi tree is for Buddhist a holy tree under which Buddha should have attained enlightenment.
** The sculpture by Satish Gupta was inaugurated the 31st January at the Oberoi, Gurgaon, in India
