My Only Weapon Is My Pen

I Could Speak About Silence Forever

I breathe in
and with that one breath
                               I am free
Such is the power
of meditation

Oh.
I see the snares
I have set for myself
but ever mindful
of my own value
I step in them less
                     and less

I drink my tea__
and I share my tea
with the Buddha
            and we laugh our delusions away

I breathe in
and with that one breath
I am free
           I am nothing
                          I am peace
