gracing the blue sky


A breeze danced on my face 

This morning at sunrise 

Isn’t that what heaven is 

From the pines I could hear a lark sing 

And I think she agreed with me 

I wanted to tell you 

But you were still sleeping 

So soundly, like a child 

----

A hungry man begs in front of a grocery store

A hard and sad irony under a golden sun 

That graces a lovely blue sky

----

I learn the prayer

And then live with it 

Until my time is up

----

It could be that we're all just talking in our sleep. 

Like we're the extra people in someone else's dream

Saying words thought up by some other person

Not even living our own lives

To practice the way of Buddha means to completely live out this present moment—which is our whole life—here and now.

There is a charge for the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge for the hearing of my heart.

The late Francisco X. Alarcon. Very missed.
