Another gloomy episode,
But after I made tea
It seemed as if,
As I gazed into the liquid
It smiled back at me.
‘What is this nonsense?’
I demanded,
‘Have I finally lost my mind?’
Or, is this reality’s handshake?’
Then I saw Buddha
In my mind’s eye,
Radiant and smiling,
And everything gleamed.
I relaxed into my surroundings,
Gained support from my setting;
It felt good to have friends
And I was shored up by them.
Immersed in soft light
Bourne up by air,
I stood breathing
In the midst of despair,
Glowing like a meteor
Burning up hurt
With a taste like BBQ flavoured potato chips
Burning in my mouth.
But I felt believed in
From somewhere out there,
The outside held the inside,
And the inside cleared.
Pressure and weight waned,
The scalding feeling in my chest decreased,
I made supper,
And gratefully sat down to eat.
