I glare intensely
into the pores
of the granite walls
inside my eyelids
Primitive pain
Suffering universal
even in the shade of the
Bodhi Tree…
All The Wailers
are gone now
Siddhartha recovered Joy
in a broken world
Grace delivered
Facing Mara
face Yourself
Demon of Temptation
Am I
worthy of Wisdom?
Abused and exploited
Earth is Redemption
Lotus Rain
upon Your Awakening
Cosmic and Karmedic balance
Creates The Middle Way
Forge Truth
Through the Holy Cities
No Sacrifice
No Salvation
Eyes wide now
Dancing with Dream Fish
Marrying Brahmin Priests
To Outcast Maidens
Nobility emerges
Fledgling monks
Arrive and suffer
Indoctrination
Caribbean chapel chants
Liberate poets and pestles
Wick lit Silence
My mind is freed
Nature of self
Lends Compassion
Connected
All things
My Island
of Happiness
Impossible
in an Ocean of Misery
Teach me
Wander with me
Consciousness
And beyond
Hear my rainy fire
And I will share
Your open mind
with the Weary World
Radiant Kindness
will be our malignant Miracles
Unknown Universe
Our canvas
Generations of Ancestors
Create our shared moment
Together
You and I
Withered robes
drag through time
clinging and trailing
Until we are done
Closed eyes
of our descendants
Weep for us
in ghost memories
Awakened
As we are
As it is
Enlightened
Strive on
Untiringly
Be your own light
and Smile at the Unknown
Divine Pedals fall
On still body
Out of reverence
Nirvana
