Friday Night /r/Zen Poetry Slam

The first convocation of the new year! Anything you haven't thrown in the bonfire, bring it out now and tell us about it! Gather, gather, and drink, and drink, and sing or somber warble. Words are not Zen, so don't worry too much about how you use them. I'll start!

One point of light for my family and friends
One red ribbon joined many split ends
Draw it out, draw it out, the poison and the water
Walk it out wounded, voyager the author
Gold for silver, jade for amber,
Laid up reading with limbs in bandanas
The left side leading, the right to yield
The deft hand the sword, the crippled the shield
Yes m’am, the floors, the windows and mantle
In my mother’s house, nurturing a low candle
