Buddha cast in bronze
--- heaped high w/ new-fallen snow ---
smiles unfazed, dwindles
cross-legged in the garden
under the sky's vast length, breadth.

Sheds old light on new subject

Sense the colour organized
geometrical
formed unceasing intricate
mathematical
a fractal constant
a universal momentum
conjugates
She lay her back to verdant
blue to the suns streaming
auric to shimmer vibrant
slow turn of Earths revolving
upon a cradles pillow
the life of grass blades
tinglings
Hear, the bird twitter, chirping
the wind, kissing
see the sense
geometrical
energetic discourse
hidden within the original
Only by individual
her Satori defined
a blessed moment
in her beauty intertwined
and only by singular
felt the quickening of the divine
in her soul
To know inescapable unity
the trickles spout to loves waterfall
the sheer miracle of it all
dancing Satori upon every single nerve
pattern, connection
breathtaking sudden realization
She lay her back to the hillside
reborn through an opened eye
unceasing geometrical
shimmering vibrant her own fractal constant
upon the cradle of the Earth
with tears she laughed
the sheer tingling exponential
the astounding miracle of it all

From where are born
those little dreams
made only of words?
From the secret part
of my myriad mind?
Or is it someplace much,
much deeper, far beyond
any form, beyond time,
beyond even God?
I know not!
For each comes
like a solo songbird
suddenly sitting
on the sill of an open window,
singing its brief song
just for you...
whilst you try,
try hard to recall it all
and share it with a tiny,
tiny slice of this vast,
cold, and indifferent world....
And if you can catch the song,
(the song that is every dream)
and seed it into a poem,
then perhaps another
may dream and dream and....

alone one night
in his living room
the lamp came to life
appearing to bloom
a peaceful aura
emitting out
the inner spirit
without a doubt
it all became one
and smiled back
sharing a subtle truth
an inside track
with eyes wide open
pouring out love
he found tears of joy
released from above

Rejoice the moment

That's Satori
A blue ocean is satori
A blue sky is satori
a blue cherubim is satori
a blue sapphire is satori
Ablue' the baby is satori
A blue color is satori!
