Buddhist Monk Embraces Meditation Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

the Buddhist monk who embraces meditation
the threefold path to enlightenment achieved
who has attained absent control eliminating anger

greed subjugating all base desires feelings emotions
daily hourly seeks to regain smooth planes of meditation
serene in comfort discipline confinements immobile bliss

even this serenity is desire sought retreat into mind zone
comfort where all is control nothing irks tranquility impinges
retreat from society solves personal not global problems
