Buddha & I
They came pouring
with labels
accusatory looks
with labels
accusatory looks
jibes
raised eyebrows
poison-tipped words
the Buddha
in the beating lotus
awakens
smiles
holds me tight
repeats
-let it go.
I pity the anguish
I forgive their spite
The palm carrying a burning coal for me
must be burning inside
Shanti!
Shanti!
Shanti!
I lean over
to a smiling child
a cup of tea
and pray for the
fanged tribe.

Snippets
Pauses
brief, extended
they are answers.
************************
Silence
heavy like lead settles
sinks the heart.
************************
Words
change meanings
like snakes shed skins.
**************************
Monologues
echo in the soul
To be or not to be.
**************************
Dialogues
essence lost
in between the lines.
***************************
Texts
Two blue ticks
and the anxious wait.
