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
