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.
