Zen Moment 

Zen moment
                   linger ing an’
                                      gather ing an’
                                                         grow ing an’
                                                                        brings me some
Sigh    lance 
                  but     then          a        flash!
                                            a        boom!    and soon
                                            a        blazing forest
                                                       fire!
But after                               a while     far away      far   away     some
                                                                                                       thing
returns     an’     enfolds     me     anew

Zen moment
                   linger ing an’
                                      gather ing an’
                                                         grow ing an’
                                                                       brings me some
Si     lence
                but then     a    memory!     Remembering    how        I should have
But hear
            Ing   now     after  a  while      from     far away    far   away    some
                                                                                                           thing
returns    an’     enfolds     me      again

Zen moment
                   linger ing an’
                                      gather ing an’
                                                         grow ing an’
                                                                        brings me some
Si     lence
               A    vast    silence    that     enfolds   me   an’     enfolds   us   all   an’
                                                                                                                    renews   renews

Zen moment
                 An’  the  vast  vast       si       lence       hear      ing     now
