Stone Riddles (Buddha) Poem by Eric Cockrell

buddha,
stone beneath
the moss.

compassion,
eyes knowing
the self.

self,
illusion, force,
nut's taste!

bodhissatva,
man finally
becoming human.

bodhissatva,
man finally
becoming god.

god,
box cant
hold fire!

god,
fire, match,
twigs, ashes.

peacemaker,
family found
first inside.

buddha,
wind's beginning,
beginning's end!

suffering,
soul's cry
for search.

path,
no map,
no destination.

race,
color cant
change blood!

reaching,
for you,
breaking windows!
