Jean: Questions, why so many questions?
I feel lost.
Existence questioned
desperate frog is croaking
jumps in - splash - no loss
Jean: Why is everything so confusing?
Fire flies soaring dance
hungry frog staring wildly
picks out one - snap! - ah...
Jean: Why is everything so loud and noisy?
Density moves loudly
defence causes noisy fights
sustained space within
untouched - remaining silence
split in/out disappears - calm
Jean: When will I learn that turning in is all
that matters?
Frog wants to fly high
turning its dense nature -
catch flies - be happy
Jean: When will I appreciate the calm and light
Self?
Pond stays in silence
inpatient frog jumps in - plush!
desire triggers motion
frog still frog - croaking brightly
water moves - sun keeps shining
Jean: When will I believe?
Frog's believe in freedom -
eagle's flight turns into flop
shore remains firm - sigh!
Jean: When will I love?
Worn out image 'love'
essential longing from within
searched trees in woods
Jean: When will I halt and hear?
Your questions subside
music from within appears
hear sound of silence
Jean: The answers are waiting, patiently.
Answers are there - now
listen: frogs are still croaking
calm pond - bright sun shine
