Heart sutra

Make a wishblow it to the wind,a seed pod to settlein unknown nookset to blossom whereleast expected.Take a chancethat day will follownight, & night screamssettle into flight of bat,or humming insect doingexactly what they do.Life’s a parklaid out in corrugatedplains, where just out of sightthe future meets the past &all things settle into oneprecious movement of light.Take my handnotice how our curvesfit like granite cliffs erodinginto dust, as a bird flies bywith silk scarf &touches us.Take my loveweigh it with Maats feather,so when you find it trueknow that justice has been doneas we sleep side by sidein God’s country.
