Suchness

Suchness in a flower
Suchness in a dog
Suchness in a baby’s eye
Suchness in a slice of apple pie!

Within, beneath, beyond 
The true nature of reality,
The essential ta of all dharma,
What is there excluded?

How can there be anything
More or less than simply what is?
How can the all inclusive 
Ever be improved upon?

Ever present 
Never changing
Suchness
Simply is
