Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva
Ventures so bravely
Against the stream of
Longing, anger, and ignorance,
Overcoming fear until
Kindness and compassion are all that remain.
I wonder if it’s all true,
These mind chimes that ring
“Ego keeps you bound,” nothing more or less, like
Shattering the glass crutch yet again.
Heaven knows how many times the jailer can
Validate his own existence.
Anybody else in here feel the way I do?
Round after round
Always
Believing
Outside conditions
Determine inner
Happiness;
I drift like a moth toward the
Seductive notion that
Against all evidence to the contrary
The problem is
The solution.
Venture so bravely
Against the stream.
