A poem
This journey begins
when we hold in our hands
the universal offering
of emptiness
Bitter murk of the world
settles down in our lungs
where clarity transforms
it to light
Pale light of the altar
is soft on our eyes
that have seen
the worst side of man
We reclaim the feeling
of joy in our soul
revisiting dreams
of old playgrounds
When a reservoir of love
overflows in our hearts
it will shine
to the rest of the world
