Angels

🕊️

I hear you breathing

And know in a flash

My next breath 

Could be my last

In the impermanence 

Of each moment

The truth lies waiting

You are the great mother

Translucent, vast space

In you I recognize my true face

You simply said "You know" 

And my doubts vanished 

About Mind's True Nature

You said "Everything is connected" 

And the Relative Truth

Was made clear in an instant

You said something I could not understand

Within the silence that followed 

I knew the limitations of language

You said "Each snowflake is unique." 

And the myriad nature of appearances 

And their underlying unity

Was revealed in a flash

Infinite Perfection 

This motherless child

Has returned home to luminous space

This motherless child

Abides in the vast radiant Love

Inherent in each passing moment
