Tanka [a lot] with the Mush
Sitting I just watch
The incense stick gentle burn
Content in its job
Exudes sweet citrus odour
Makes my mouth simply water
Overtime ash falls
Like birthdays passing each year
As it carries on
Burning steadily through time
Devoted to its purpose
I think how perfect
How simply it does its job
While I reflect on
How this life could be, should be
Simplicity at its best
Sitting, watching while
Life goes on around me and
The stick teaches how
To make the rest of my life
Simply the best of my life
