Siddhartha


Divinity’s candle

stays burning alive

not born or created

 conceived or contrived

 

Its light from the center

forever shines through

the moment’s unveiling

delivering you

 

To places all knowing

through spaces unknown

the mix in the crucible

its myth to atone

 

The vision self-granted

when time is deposed

confirmed refutation

— with nothing to know

 

(Villanova University: January, 2024)
