poem twenty-nine

a beginner's mind

i close my eyes
and defamiliarize
lose my thoughts
as to unlearn

approach the world
without preconception
and see it like this
for just what it is

lack an understanding
of surroundings
so as to perceive
what has been in front of me
all along

a touch
a talk
a moonlit walk

unlearn to understand
live deliberately
and love
