the flower opens, and dies...
and life remembers.

Jesus died for me.
sat with Buddha neath that tree...
but the path is mine!

turn down the music...
beneath sound lies a heartbeat
that cannot be played!

undress, carved by light
and shadow twisted by want,
till i hurt with need.

eyes twinkle, instant,
your life unfolds in a touch
that burns away doubt!

Buddha within you
light bound by darkness breaks free
rain dances in the dust

colors, smells, feelings
are set free by not grasping
- touch without holding

that paint life as me and mine
- nameless and selfless!

making love, dew damp
grass, by the light of the moon,
lonesome train whistle!
