Landscapes of daily life
water in the forest
the giant palu and weera.
The men who did something for the country
dutiful ministers
and honest servants.
The rules of courtesy -
how to talk soft, when to say sorry,
how to touch a master's feet after lessons,
this matter of thanksgiving
and the true ways of giving.
We have lost
limits of betrayel
and monks who do abhinishkramanaya.
The sathara brahma viharana
concentration on breath,
the deeper levels of self ,
interior feelings
the art of loving.
Men who drift and haul
for fish in the south
And Jaffna skies
before boring holes.
