Energy

I thought we had agreed to live in peace. No I’m not illegal yes my name is Rico and I’ve been meditating on emptiness now for a year my friends some are white but there’s no difference in human beings we’re all the same please don’t be afraid. Return.

the doors that open

life is the snap of a finger

compassion

comes from

recognizing suffering

allow the answer

the answer

is everything

and nothing

memory and a passing moment

years of wind

shaped tree

atop a cliff

curvature

of the earth

buddha in a fishbowl

goldfish in the shadows

of his robe

a memory past.

to be present

unlocks all mysteries

scrubs and love

and coffee girls

yawns and eyes above a gulp

waiting looking

seeing eyes

blue and dark

like argentines

look within

look within

spring snow

the snow falling

through the light

of orange street lamps

makes me happy

once again

deep breath

the heartbeat

an icicle

melting

above

water

two moments

speaking of

Nepal

thinking of

Mountain lion

cave

substance

a vase

overflowing

with

emptiness

realization

we are not

connected by light

it is the means for

awareness

we know because

of the great invisible

energy

from which all arose

blue horizon

the blue sky

of the dawn

before the sun

breaks the horizon

stars and

black sky

fading

ditch song

a stone amidst

stones

in ancient mud

dry now

settling

shades on

snow

two beings

expressed

amidst

millions of

blades of

rustling golden

grass

sun above

the rise

touching wind

big wind

blew leaves

clouds now

moving gently

slow

too much

happening

to record.
