Om

a poem in 20 seconds... love and laughter

Rating: 2 votes, 5.00 average.
Infinite love surrounds my heart,
what can I say?
Boundless pure lands surround me from all 10 directions,
what can I say?
Infinite light shines to my heart from the background reality,
what can I say,
when you speak in riddles and sullenly?
The frozen wastes of this world are melted
into an illimitable sea of love and light,
and all troubles are smelted into gems of wisdom,
as we end all paths in laughter, the Divine Comedy.

    Good to see a message from Om again Nik! Oh, and 10 directions? 10? At most I can come up with are 6: east, west, north, south, straight up, straight down. What four am I missing?

    This is very nice Nik. I really liked this, "The frozen wastes of this world are melted/into an illimitable sea of love and light,"

    Wow, thank you all so much... I don't know if any of you picked up on this, but I wrote this because I was discouraged... I won't be though! No matter what, knowing that such good people like you are here...

    I would add that I adapted the last line from a similar line in an essay by Alan Watts... "The Divine Comedy. All things dissolve in laughter." (Something like that :p

    Anyway i appreciate your comments! :)

    and Comedian:

    ten directions (十方). The spatial directions of east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, north, northeast, the nadir, and the zenith.

    :)
