Nirvana



The yogi sits in peace,
under the bodhi tree.
His mind like an ocean,
thoughts and emotions flee.

A toad gently hops,
beside a lotus flower.
A koi beneath the lily,
turns fast with grace & power.

On a statue of the Buddha,
a dragon fly takes rest.
Nature is revealing it's self,
for Siddhartha's final test.

For the koan of eternal truth,
the Brahmin does expect,
Enlightenment, Bang! Life falls into place.
Everything is already perfect!

    I like this poem very much. The way it flows and your use of images that seem to glow with peace. Well done my friend.
