a buddha is born in me
 
& 
 
every morning
a 'buddha' is born in me
 
as a clear babbling stream
are all my meditated thoughts-
 
the roots of worries
like mirror reflections-
 
the moon-beam of life
at a reachable distance-
 
i gaze into myself
in perfect perspective -
 
and visualize myself
as a rootlet in every happening-
 
 
the goodness of others blossom
as the bright bars of morning sun -
 
i destroy my poison
to let in good thoughts-
   
'bliss hereafter in my life!'
i enjoy in meaningful silence.
 
&
 
in the speed of seconds 
in the friction of events
in the rashness of conclusions
and in the heat of anger
i expolde offensive  words
and burn myself-
 
why everyone has drawn
daggers at me, all in unison?
  
i knock my head
in depths of darkness.

where my buddha
had gone dead ?
how did so many ghosts
gain entry into me
to crush and drink my blood?
 
&
 
' i will turn a good soul tomorrow!'
i tell the night that drags me along;
 i could read a soft smile at its lips!
