Sky Red At Noon
(Okanogan Amitabha)
Sky Red at Noon
(to Amitabha)
In the pureland of the West
Sits the Buddha of Infinite Light.
Within the infinite light
Radiates the perfect compassion
Of enlightened passion
The magnetizing power
Of brilliant fire
Turning the whole sky
Red at noon.
Where is this place?
I want to go!
Where is this light?
I want to see!
So says everyone
At some point
In their heart.
The question
Becomes a quest
When we take the first step
To our heart’s desire
Which is of course
Within.
