The Dragonfly

I am a Dragonfly
as brilliant as a peacock
I shape shift, I fly

I travel between dimensions
I bring messages in dreams
awakening hearts to

the beauty of this world

A Lesson in Compassion

The other day I went to the kitchen

turned on the lights

stepped onto cold tiles

and I noticed a tiny millipede.

It marched right up to me

and raised it's front end

as if to say 'HELLO'.

I looked down at it's

furry, humble little body

and I could not believe

how brave the bug was.

Nonchalantly, I reached for a napkin nearby

while meticulously plotting it's death.

ZAP! I snatched the bug up

and squeezed it's tiny life out.

Instantaneously, the gates flew open

the ones that hold back the agony

flooding my soul with remorse.

Hanging my head in shame

I could not help but ask myself,

“What would Buddha have done?”

The Soul's Spirit of Love

Supernatural Love

The kind that follows you all your life

Hidden in your shadow

Then one day it hits you

Like a train
