Buddha

Buddha leaving home
his first taste of true freedom
his heart abundant

meditating mind
the Buddha is awakened
now what do i do

meditating moon
how do others regard me
unable to sleep

the stars speak to me
lean into the night and smile
the next breath is easy

if you have not lived
why not wake up this morning
talk of Noble Truths

suffering measured
in life, outrunning regrets
it is exhausting
