Enlightened


And I am searching
Yet
Losing my way

You have reminded me
to practise
Practise calm
Every day



So
I went out seeking
And stopped
Still….

Breathing in
a purifying breath
Quelling the fidgety form
To submission

*   *   *

And the little boy
came to me
Wearing a hat of yellow brocade
A golden  temple
on his head

He smiled
One of his lives
At me

*    *   *

And here you are to remind me
You who have stood centuries
And stood for what?

You elude me
Then you come and bring your light
And I want to be where the light is
