Second Birth- Poem
Second Birth
me and my stories
never ending
me and my stories
with such power to conquer
me and my stories…
they kept haunting
so I was
sure that I was
someone I know for a long-long time
they kept going
so as
to protect what is on the surface
they kept coming back
so I could
be entertained
by such complexity and endless
fear
pain
rained
and rained
one night,
Buddha Mind could not stand!
it could not stand watching another
me and my story
overcastting so the LIGHT
would not shine through
next morning,
Buddha Heart could not stand!
it could not stand listening to another
me and my story
shouting loud so the QUIETNESS
could not be heard
emergence of the Two
was the second birth
...............................................
the fire ball far far away
burned brighter
giving its life
to let me truly live
it speared all!!
but with such gentle warmth
it scaled off what was a protector of
my little world
then
a Buddha
Started listening to
me and my stories
with such compassion
…
I am the Buddha

Wow. I am in awe. Wow..
Thanks for writing this, Ayako.
wow! i especially love this part:
one night,
Buddha Mind could not stand!
it could not stand watching another
me and my story
overcastting so the LIGHT
would not shine through
next morning,
Buddha Heart could not stand!
it could not stand listening to another
me and my story
shouting loud so the QUIETNESS
could not be heard
emergence of the Two

The first time I viewed this I wasn't in a place to comment. Upon reading of your awakening again now, all I can say is - like Brondu and C4…wow…
