Buddhist Priest from Laika by Daido Loori

walk the wretched ground. (i hear)
traverse this frozen void. (nothing)
silence. (hangs heavy) stillness. (surrounds us)
blackened, crystalized in time.

quicken the pace. (i hold)
numb toes in tattered shoes. (nothing)
these legs. (grow weary) these souls. (decaying)
won't take us much further now.

walk the wretched ground. (i hear)
traverse this frozen void. (nothing)
silence. (hangs heavy) stillness. (surrounds us)
blackened, crystalized in time.

my witness is the branches i can't break.
a feeling i can't shake.
roots writhe and twist in my wake.

lift your eyes and search for something real.
(hold on / to this / and never let it go)
