The Jewel

0


A heart’s openness to receive 

Life’s essence sans condition
Rests on compassionate pliancy 
Of its synchronous unfolding petals
Calm in its witnessing of pure potentiality 
Being birthed into purposeless moments 
As they teeter totter to steady their gait 
Naturally breathed into the timeless flow of a
Playful tune bursting with innocence
Of a puppy hopping around in grass that’s evergreen
With guileless floppy ears following suite, 
Reaching for fanciful butterflies that tease 
Hopeful dawn into a joyously defiant uprising 
Overlapping a petulant night’s misguided oppression. 
All that’s left is the glimmering sunshine of a 
Blissful inner universe, delicately encapsulated as a 
Limpidly tentative, trembling dewdrop
Unaware of any temporal demarcations
The Jewel within a Lotus
