Buddha Mind
Buddha mind’s a still but never motionless field
Buddha mind holds all, each wave and ripple subsumed
along with every tiny dot, a broken wholeness
no metaphor can speak its more-and-less
no single thought can split its late-and-soon
its splash and depth of shade, golden color,
its sanguine stippled clouds, its calm bronze face serene,
both shut and absent eye welcoming, then with lids raised
seeing soon-and-later-less-and-more revealed
