Thoughts and Prayers

 


Please, 

no thoughts and prayers.

Just prayers without thoughts.

This is enough for now.

Everything falls into place,

yet there is no place

and the falling never stops.

Some call it stillness.

When the X-class

solar flare of God

irradiates each atom 

of your flesh with madness,

let it pass through you.

Don’t be so foolish

as to imagine 

you are anything but space.

Take no thought

for tomorrow.

Resist nothing and become 

as solid as the diamond 

on Buddha's crown.

But if you fight 

against the terrible  

sweet radiance of death,

you will be a hungry ghost.

Therefore learn to tell 

the difference between  

thoughts and prayers,

ease and dis-ease.

By the time you understand this,

it will be too late.

Just dive into the silence

where the question never arises.

That is the answer.
