Poem

Siddharta worked hard for the middle way to appear in silent meditation

Above him a lotus flower shone pure radiance from an indigo moon

Ebb and flow levitated cast in nothingness and droplets of wild motion

Antecedent prologues merged with moments of reflection and hindsight


Waters had risen and he sat cross legged on a fig leaf of sunken Atlantis 

Ruins of the belligerent future chanted a story of unconditional forgiveness

The river swelled and delivered a choice between waterfalls and cascades

His ragged loincloth drenched in tears submerged in rapids of colourful Karma


His let go of his begging bowl for he seemed alone with himself and the World

It bobbed up and down before it joined an underworld of reclusive sorrow

Maybe rice grains would find a shallow paddy somewhere in kindness

And seed in the knowledge that the Universe holds hunger and passion


He found an ocean of love so powerful it brought him back to the Source

Of all beginnings and ends of surrender and suffering of Four Noble Truths

Empty Coke bottles plastic bags hindered Nirvana but sealed the path

And with his last worldly touch he freed an octopus onto his Eightfold Path


Praise honour and devotion resurfaced as a dolphin clinging on to a sign post

In the wilderness of destruction greed devious currents and harmony drowned

Circled around a polar bear lost on one last ice floe like a prophet of doom

The Buddha never lost hope though and offered his emaciated body to extinction
