The Minds Eye

A Buddha stands upon my desk
It looks to most a look burlesque
Where head and stomach and the bag
Are triads of a super tag

They shape to me a balanced die
A necessary to the vie
The nuisance to the dance of fife
A balance to this way of life

The head, the smile, the bellies roll
The bag to pay the pipers toll
The inference of toll and goal
The path on which to find his soul

A happy smile his way of go
To tread the rainbow of his sew
A happiness of mind and rhyme
To fill the essence of his time

It’s all in place a journeys need
A mental grace a bag of seed

there you are! I was wondering if I'd see you this morning before I leave to get my car looked at...I hit a log and knocked my tire in...damn hurricane debris

but oh the Buddha...I have one too

Your usual rhythm and flow is on display and good to read.
Mine is "Ho Tai", the god of happiness.  Thank you for putting yours in front of us.  Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

When you write this cool ...
me and Randy become smiling fools.
When you write with your poetic tools,
wisdom and light are cadenced rules.      


(though me and Randy were glad this line...

"The head, the smile, the bellies roll"

was about Buddah and not us)  LOL

I immediately began to think about a restaurant where I meet one of my favorite friends sometimes.  There's a BIG Budha standing just as you walk in to be seated.  Everytime I pass him I rub his belly and it makes me giggle -- 'course, it makes my friend laugh, too.  Much enjoyed.   .....jo
