No Buddha

No Buddha

Every prayer is a key in your lock.

Words mean what they say

when you breathe Buddha into them.

Then they have space and meaning.

There is no Buddha without you.

You are the joy of the universe.
Form seeded upon abstraction.
The pattern of variance
and the dance of diversity.
Infinite _expression and idiom of delight.

Where you are-
The rapturous flare of existence
becomes the Word.

A Buddha and a no Buddha

speak to each other

and smile.
