Sweetest Meditation

Blueberries glisten
in a wooden bowl.
Cherries glisten
in a twin bowl.

When I lived within
lightheartedness,
when lightheartedness
pursued you,
love sang her zenith
as you.

Within the simple joy
of togetherness,
within the space
of lightheartedness
love rang her golden hue,
love sang her zenith
as me and you

possessing sky and earth.
I thought of you, you thought of me….
Thought and desire coupled; thought gave birth
to the future, thought began
to be frightened, to plan…
It had wanted to prolong
That beautiful song.

Expectation,
The memories of you
came to overshadow you;
I no longer saw you
Nor you me.
We still talked and walked together;
we sometimes laughed, made love,
within the dream of being together…

I tried to confine you
within the frame of my thought and desire,
painting a shadow of you;
I tried – driving away
The love embodying me and you.

Blueberries glisten
in a wooden bowl.
Cherries glisten
in a twin bowl.

What deliciousness
attends each empty bowl.
The lightheartedness,
fragrance of me and you,
love embodying me and you:
it couldn’t be more plain…
Love, you’re the sweetest meditation –
with nothing to lose or gain…
