Deepening the Wonder

 
 
 
 Death is a favor to us,
But our scales have lost their balance.
 
The impermanence of the body
Should give us great clarity,
Deepening the wonder in our senses and eyes
 
Of this mysterious existence we share
And are surely just traveling through.
  
[...]
 
Our marriage with the Cruel Beauty
Of time and space cannot endure very long.
 
Death is a favor to us,
But our minds have lost their balance.
 
The miraculous existence and impermanence of
Form
Always makes the illumined ones
Laugh and sing.
