Discover

When you discover that
each breath is nectar

and the space between

your heartbeats is

the silence between stars,

and the one who

encircles you with

unfathomable compassion

is inside,

and the luminous hollow

of each nerve in your body

echoes with the sound

that created all things,

then you are rich.

You need nothing.

You can begin to live

in the empire of moonlight, 

the sensation of dew
on bare feet,

the glut of honeysuckle, 

the sparkling transparency

of this perishing moment.
