Buddha Within Poem by Eric Cockrell

the Buddha within
waits just beyond
everything we do
to avoid seeing ourselves!

the Buddha within
has no color or creed,
no political party,
is totally human.

the Buddha within
is the pathway that joins
the tongue to the heart,
the eyes to the spirit...

the hands to the infinite!

the Buddha within,
not owned, never owning;
not held by the few,
the home, and the gift...

the expression of humanity
making love to life!

sameness, unity, freedom!
