Regarding Wave
Poet: Gary Snyder
The voice of the Dharma
          the voice
               now
A shimmering bell
          through all.
The voice of the Dharma
          the voice
               now
A shimmering bell
          through all.
The universe
     is a kaleidoscope:
now hopelessness, now hope
     now spring, now fall.
Forget its ups and downs:
     do not vex yourself:
The remedy for pain
     is the pain.
These perfumes:
     musk, clove…
all from the hyacinthine shadows
     of those tresses.
You think you hear
     a nightingale’s song…
