whole lotta love

<center>whole lotta love

take the poems you have written
roll them up into flutes
and play tunes of solitude
that will dispel the fears
that reside deep within you

once the songs have melted
into the vastness of space
place the rolled flutes
into bamboo shoots freshly cut
from the surrounding garden
dizzy with bees and butterflies

place the bamboo sideways
across the large rock beneath
the carved granite statue
of the boddhisattva staring
upwards into eternity's edge

the bamboo will split in due time
revealing the once fresh words as
sprouting seeds reaching for light


time will cease at the heartbeat
suspending your activity
placing all your senses in
waterfall ecstasy...

forever at peace

you will love without desire
you will love without want
you will love without doubt
you will love without concern

love will become your first language
love will become your deepest breath
love will become your only vision
love will become you
you will become love</center>

Ahhhhhhhhhhh Cec, as usual you have hit the spot.
This is a grand groove of a poem to read.
Thank you, it was perfect timing, a cosmic gift.

thx, Hes' and Dor'... very glad you enjoyed this piece.

It's from years back but still timeless, I think.

[constantine]

let me be the judge of that...yes, it is timeless!

A poetic peace trip worthy of Ryokan. I dig this immensely.

inspiring, i always think about bamboo poems, but my bum boo poems
take over.

Beautiful my friend... I am reminded of Reps and his small gifts. Isn't it strange how we find these scripts or poems from the archives? And funny, I don't remember this one (I think I should) but it is delightful.

[mtmynd]

Thank you, Dino... I trust your judgement.

John, I certainly appreciate the Ryokan mention, Thank you, kind one.

... and thx to you, RR, for the reply. bamboo, bum boo or bamboozle - they all contribute to the poetry mind.

SooZen! surprised to see you around here so early! yes, it was a pleasant find in the old archives, waiting it's return to the cyber-sun. happy you enjoyed. tyvm!
