Simeon and Anna

Rebirth, in this urgency
A welcomed return to infancy
Child-like, not childish
Marinated; not garnish, garish

Absurdity is the way
Zen masters say
“Look, a kazoo!
How do you do?”

Absurd, but wise
In no other guise
The purity of this birth
More than re-birth

To wait for so long
With so much gone wrong
To endure in faith
To endure the wraith

But, humility!
Not passivity
To be humble in humility
Erases fragility 

Age not set in ways
Not just inward this gaze
Amaze, amaze, endure
It is and is not sure

Too much thought
Too little thought
Balance on the thinnest beam
Balance in balance, this is the dream
