Poem:

Love is quiet While desire has a lot of issues All the drama of your stories is the 75% It’s actually not that interesting You can use the 25% to just sit quiet At the center That’s real beauty The buddhists believe in a holy attitude Purity creates a lot of latitude Keeping the chit unstirred should not be underrated. Living the quiet life is less complicated Your mind can go into the zone Immediately instead of waiting two hours That’s why a lot of emotion Does not make for good devotion The sweetest nectar is internal Don’t worry if it is not eternal Just repeat and repeat until it becomes Sempiternal. DS Poem May 11, 2018
