An Earthly love

blessed one, Tathagata, drawing near,
will you bring me a cup of water?
tulsi was grown in earthly soil,
yet she presents heavenly flowers.

here i am without illusion,
without care.
the heart beats a pure, standard rhythm,
sheltered by your light.

Angels fly by, close by,
enclose upon my heart
to protect me from your rabid eyes,
and the fangs of your frothing mouth.

Darkness in your heart,
and ten thousand distractions -
is it my fault you failed to get your mind
to see past distorted abstractions?

I grew up in a tender soil,
and knew infinite others like me.
I am merely a green plant,
I am just a little light.

The right time cannot be made,
It simply is.
The right way cannot be forced,
It simply is.

Just read the new ones, really enjoyed them!

thanks Haunted! :)

Predawn stillness
Mind's beauty
For an instant I know
It cannot be grasped
It cannot be formed
It cannot be hindered
It is, flows, eternally.

It was such a special, amazing, wonderful feeling
the first time I heard you say, "I love you too,"
my heart skipped several beats, and I fell in love again,
and immediately I knew
that I would live to hear your voice say these words.
It's never diminished,
and it's beautiful, unique, precious,
only yours and mine,
nothing can profane this.
I can't quite, nor can I ever describe,
the depth of this feeling the first time, or any other.

To you it was Some Greek Philosopher
you never read -
To me it was a breathing genius' words
on the page alive.

I will never forget this myriad world,
spirit world, beauty world, world of dreams,
with so many relations, and variations,
this garden of harmony, beauty, and light,
I thank whatever formed or formless power
that in grace bestowed upon me such a view.

My divine secret I will take with me to the grave,
if I can only forget that I've told it to others!
Nature is funny in its endless evolution,
and endless play of yang and yin.

Once as I saw the divine light, it seemed certain
Everyone could understand the very next day.
Enlightening the universe seemed the simplest thing,
Now I am finished with this, and looking smaller,
I'll just focus on breathing, and seeing,
and repeating Amitabha's name.

I'll never forget that spirit world, myriad world,
beauty world, world of dreams.
I just feel like I've been everywhere,
and seen so many worlds
like an ancient, wearied traveler
for a short time passing through.

I came to meet a friend,
and then I'm going home.
