<p>somewhere<br />
a longing<br />
deep inside<br />
is identified<br />
and my search<br />
goes on<br />
a desire<br />
yes<br />
somehow fulfilled<br />
and the sparkling path<br />
that I walk on<br />
often without knowing<br />
and fading into the sun<br />
is always there<br />
Quiet Brilliance<br />
yes<br />
Quiet Brilliance</p>

<p>I breathe in<br />
and with that one breath<br />
                               I am free<br />
Such is the power<br />
of meditation</p>
<p>Oh.<br />
I see the snares<br />
I have set for myself<br />
but ever mindful<br />
of my own value<br />
I step in them less<br />
                     and less</p>
<p>I drink my tea__<br />
and I share my tea<br />
with the Buddha<br />
            and we laugh our delusions away</p>
<p>I breathe in<br />
and with that one breath<br />
I am free<br />
           I am nothing<br />
                          I am peace</p>
