Paragate poems on Hello Poetry

K Mae Sep 2014

I dream at will
both asleep and awake
swirling all colors
delighting all
who happen to dance on my path

So while
"Gate, Gate,
Paragate,
Parasamgate,
Bodhi,
Svaha!"
is the Great Dharani
and the Radiant Supreme Mantram,
we must also
keep in mind
The Lesser Dharani
of
"Oo Ee
Oo Ah Ah
Ting Tang
Walla Walla Bing Bang"
and also meditate
on the Lesser Mantram
of
"Ohwah
Tagoo
Siam"
and always remember
that us poets
are all enlightened
because we know
the sound
of one hand clapping
because
we always seem
to hear it
when we read aloud
at poetry readings.

You and I

You and I go way back before time was invented,
Before the before.
You and I go deep into the smallest of the small,
The very parts of the ALL.

And we are beyond the beyond,
Over the edge, over the top
Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha

We are here and we are now
And we always was and always will be.

We are that which remains
After all else is destroyed.

We are before the beginning and after the end.
There is no place where we are not.

We are at the center
Of the vast emptiness of space
As it resides in the heart, on the end of pin.
We are without and we are within.

You look in the mirror and you see me.
I look in the mirror and I see you.
There is no space between us
Because the “us” is the grand illusion
That resolves into one.

And so, shall we play?
