Thay’s Cloud
By Pauline Harris
(*)
At the moment
I knew to be true
Tears were released
Pour out of my eyes
Both from grief
And gratefulness
For a true teacher
Was forever with us
Guiding our silence
With wisdom beyond
Slowly the tears
Formed a puddle
Evaporating into mist
Gathering with others
Collectively together
Creating a cloud
Uniting all in this cloud
A refreshing site
This cloud grew to be
For this cloud united
All of us in
Love and Light
Forever and always
*-*
…I wrote this in honor of Thich Nhat Hanh moving on. His saying, ‘a cloud never dies.’
