Refuse to accept what is;
My chest feels heavy.
Reminded through others lives,
I'll always be; fatherless....

no ambition
but to work like a horse
as if you have every ambition
immersed in the moment
detached attachment...

Too transcendent
Too detached
Too soft
Too yamaka
For those who would

Thanks for helping me

Detached from the heart
Blinded by fear, led by greed
Shallow minds lay waste
Tainting words with foul actions
Careless of those who mean them...

this fragile shell.
All of this to transport my computer in the skull.
Yet I feel so detached  from it....

Cornea detached
Crimson tears
Pupils stretched
Frazzled iris
Blinded white
Pressure builds
Salty sight...

from desires and outcomes

before beholding objects,
is the boundless womb of space.

Do we dare to leap,
in this enigmatic void,

Distored thoughts.

birds take flight in flocks.

Cast your shadow
Before me that I may follow
May I drink from the well of your love
Cool as rain from above
Command my will
Like time commands my heels.
Detached from You
All that I am is death!...

    down a flowing stream
  skitters windswept 'cross
    an autumnal lawn

detached compassion
employs no use of force
observing how winds blow
and rivers run their own course

as a part of the landscape
exuding fragrance of a rose
suffused in divine bliss mists
the monk remains in repose...
