:) yes!

 

 

Hunters

Trap monkeys

Putting food inside

A buried

Narrow-necked

Gourd.

 

Grabbing the food

Unwilling to let it go

The monkey's fist

Clenched by desire

Is holding

The monkey

Trapped.

 

My friend,

Why do you hold on

To past grudges

And memories

Of whatever wrongs

You may have

Suffered?

 

Why wait for the hunter's net

And his hard blow to the elbow

To release the hold?

 

Be magnanimous

As befits your

True

Nature.

 

Forgive – and by forgiving

Open your generous hand

Walk away

And roam

Free.

 

 

 

in love,

yosy
