The moonlight over
Borobudur temple
reveals
a vision of the cosmos in stone
a world
dominated
by actions
of passion and desire
the glorious past
is celebrated with ships
elephants
musicians, dancing girls
warriors and kings
the pilgrim's walk
prepares us for the practice of
detachment
Look out across the valley
ponder upon Nothingness
Reaching through the stupa
to touch the finger or foot
of the Buddha inside
will surely direct
our thoughts
and motivate us to take steps
away from conflict
