Buddha Space

There is a beautiful place
Between this world and that
Between that which lies within us
And that which lies in front of us
Let us walk there
And sit softly
Gazing at both realities
With eyes neither wide open
Nor shut tight
But like the Buddha's, half-open,
In quiet reverie
Standing on one side
Casts a reflection on the other
The outer reflects the inner
The inner comes to reflect the outer
But gently standing in between
Casts no reflection
Let us walk
In that neutral space
Where the Buddha walks
With lotuses blooming
At his footsteps
Between this world and that
Between that which lies within us
And that which lies in front of us
Let us walk there
And sit softly
Gazing at both realities
With eyes neither wide open
Nor shut tight
But like the Buddha's, half-open,
In quiet reverie
Standing on one side
Casts a reflection on the other
The outer reflects the inner
The inner comes to reflect the outer
But gently standing in between
Casts no reflection
Let us walk
In that neutral space
Where the Buddha walks
With lotuses blooming
At his footsteps
