Stepping carefully
into the universe.
Walking soulfully
in rhyme and verse.
Deftly skipping
over puddles of pain.
Leaving no footprints
under my name.

Quiet in the Shrine room
sitting, silent, practising.
Birds call out and sing
the song of the Dharma.
A dog in the distance eulogises.
Sheep call for compassion;
the cows quiet,
contemplating,
ruminating
reflecting.
The rain hits the hollow roof.
The gentle, muffled, shuffle,
Of one who is suffering.
An offering of focus,
clarity and
love.
The singing bowl sings
The candle flickers
The incense spirals
Time for release.
