Pour

Life became

          more soft

               and radiant,

     luxurious

          and interesting

when I stopped

     preferring This

               to That.

Green tea,

     black tea.

          Yes please.

     When I discovered

the ocean of diamonds

               in this breath,

     the mountain of silence

          in a gentle

               footstep.

     Not to hurry

               but to touch

          the earth

                    so lightly,

this is how we arrive

          at the end,

               the beginning.

     Not to say

     “Meet me here,”

for we met in the temple

               of Being

     before we were born.

Now rest

          and drink

     from the cup

               of my presence,

as I sip from yours.

     Pour out all

          your sparkling

               imperfections.

Thank you.

          They are
               so succulent.
