There is a chanting in my inner mind
I hear it
but what are those words
on the tip of my tongue
as I try to chant along
I know them
but I do
not
there is a chanting that I know very well
but
how could I
I never did learn them
I cannot say them
I cannot see them
through the blur
the haze
of my present knowledges
the merging of the now and then
the chanting comes from the ocean waves that rushed at the foot of the temple
to
the ocean waves that rushed to the edge of the trail
near the shores of a sea on the other end of the world
named after ancients here and there
I hear the chanting of the ghosts
I am chanting with them
but the words dont materialize
