I pray
there is a place
beyond pain
where we will rise
in purity
above the cedars.

look down

a rock ledge
to escape the rain,

of a past
when buffalo roamed —

Buddhism, peaceful, quietude, silence, solitude, stillness

there is a place
of solitude
where winds don’t blow
where leaves refuse to rustle

it is the space
of waiting
of anticipation
between musical notes

in this space
i am free
nothing comes or goes
nothing gives rise to distress

this is a place
i visit
where worldly troubles
have no place to settle
