Plague Of Ignorance

Plague Of Ignorance 

***

Black clouds appeared in thr sky

Due to ignorance, no one listened

Canary in the coal mine died

Seas were poisoned

Crops did not grow

Species faded away

No one noticed

Business as usual 

***

Game of profit and power

Fixation on empty "selves."

Life not seen as precious

Lords of nihilism ruled

Black clouds blocked sun

All was darkness

No longer business as usual 

***

Many fell sick passed away

Fear filled the land

People hid from the plague of ignorance

There was nowhere to hide

They were forced to look inside

Within a celestial spring 

Life overflowed

First tree flowered

Nothing fixed 

Alll a dream

***

Some awoke 

Crossed over

Some remained asleep

No one abandoned

Treasure Unconditional Love 

Compassion

Always within awaiting us

An undying sun of Love

Our true nature

Our birthright 

In the illusory dance of life 

***

Those whose vision clear

Saw the world 

Celestial healing Pureland

Those blind 

Saw a wasteland

Lost sheep not forgotten

Good shepherd never gives up

All lost are found

All who look outside

Eventually, look within 

***

Time an illusion

Suffering purification blessings

Innerspring love always flows

We can drink healing waters of Dharma

Our thirst not for 

illusions we chase

We thirst to love 

To be loved 

No external enemies to conquer 

***

Only internal enemies

Ignorance, attachment, aversion

Black clouds of fear are impermanent

Nothing to do 

Still ourselves within

Inner clouds dissipate

Rain of loving-kindness and compassion

Falls on all equally 

***

Relax Relax Relax

Spontaneously

We will be freed 

From the timeless dream

We are free 

We don't see

Everything primordially pure

True teachers hold the key

Showing their true nature

Our true nature

Is the same 

***

Trust 

Have faith

All storms pass

Rainbows will appear in the vast sky

A dove with an olive branch appears 

Empty yet full

Infinite potentiality

Time to leave the cocoon

Butterflies

We fly

Empty yet appearing

Dissolving

Into spacious skies 

***

No need for fear

Nothing fixed

Everything flows

Waterfalls

Streams

Rivers reach sea

A boat awaits us

We cross 

Sea of suffering

Return to cyclical existence

Gather lost sheep

No one left behind

No one left behind

Etched in the sand by a butterfly with broken wings on March 31, 2020. He knows little and is still lost in the dream but has faith in the love and wisdom of the true teachers who manifest in whatever way necessary to benefit all sentient beings. Never give up. What lies ahead is inconceivable and beyond these poorly written words. Never give up. Even if your wings are broken.
