Lord Buddha
When the divine adoration
Springs in him
Started shedding desires first ,
like matured tree,
Shedding unused leaves,
Divine rays spilled out of inner being,
Like drops flown out of
filled vessel,
The most beautiful and ,
The most terrible,
Dissolved in compassion
First animals surrendered ,
Then humans ,
Finally nature,
Bowed down beneath the mystic eyes,
Lotus petals from the heaven,
Adorned his crown,
His gospels were not preaches,
But melting away the 'I'
In you,
He is the black hole
The cosmic hole of compassion.
