POET'S CORNER

(Dharma name: Satya)

Little Bird

THIRSTY WAS THE BIRD

SMALL AND ALONE IN THE WORLD,

         SEEKING A COOL DRINK.

    WATER WAS RIGHT THERE,

GLISTENING IN THE SMALL POOL,

       WAITING FOR THE BIRD.

      THE AH-HA MOMENT --

THE WATER INVITES THE BIRD

      TO DRINK UNTIL FULL.

       WHEN WE ARE AWARE,

WE BEGIN TO OBSERVE WHERE

          LUXURIES ABOUND.
