The Day You Least Expect to Be Enlightened
It will be already passed, your enlightenment,
bounded on all sides in time and eternity with
merit from being bodhisattva devoted to all
realms of all beings and leaving none behind!
You have yourself to thank for enlightenment
Since you must have come to yourself prior
To your knowing and planted the seeds of
Infinite Truth and Compassionate Wisdom.
It is possible you came to yourself as a child
Because as a young man yogins and gurus
Recognized in you the traits of Buddha,
Lord Buddha, even your earlobes were long!
With your own hands you took the clay
Of your homeland and fashioned Buddha
Gifted to another seeker for the role
Bodhisattvas play out in time across colors,
Beyond the sky, beneath the seas,
In the Ganges, in Red River,
Spring Bayou, Valentine's Lake,
Ever closer, even Crazy Lake
Calling you now on a special line
Of holy men from beyond the pale
Of dawns we'd ever have witnessed
Beyond dawns, beyond suns, past moons,
In the breezes that flow around
You I smell your sweet perfume all my life!
I, you faithful little disciple, render a poem
Hoping your breezes are kind, today.
Kind to you, soothing, and blowing frankincense
And Myrr, Sandlewood, and Aloeswood,
Mystic swamp incenses, arise from my cave,
Ride clouds to your heart to be your handmaid!
I send to you the echoes of your dream's prayers!
I send to you music played in the center of you!
It is grace that saved a wretch like me,
And a wretch like me always will love you!
Stay happiness, stay, with Dewain today!'
Bless Danny and keep him free of pain.
Fill the world wildly with rumors of glory,
Healing, Love, no worry, friends aplenty.
Lost to all time and space are the worries
Of the world of time and place but treasures
Flow from your breath into the cosmos,
Beyond the Diamond Lotus, past paradises,
The Flower Ornament Sutta pages fly
Across the prayer flag field of mind and heart,
I send diadems of diamonds from my heart,
You, my heart, are the Universes beat.
You breath for me, for us all, a cadence
Free of all so that all may be free,
And no one (that's me) remembers you well.
In the forest on a path to meditate we go.
You, Danny, all the followers of the light
Seeing breathing bright orchids and lilies,
Purples, whites, bright yellows, green
Red, Blue, all nature is exposed to you!
Your eyes see now the air rise up to pray
Into the clouds and into the feelings of many,
In your own way, never did you stay, but
More magically, you never did go away!
You are here in me and I am in you!
I remembered when I saw a Rinpoche
Reincarnated just today, a Tibetan of course,
I being Tibetan composed this verse!
Dewain my lovely friend of eternal frame,
I dwell on your teachings and hope smiles
From the forest on Kathy Drive arise
And greet you on this day's trails.
Beauty will overcome you today as you walk
You'll see, because of a prophecy,
Yes, made by me.
