Dharma Stones (Bottomless Haiku) Poem by Eric Cockrell

battered and bloody
i face myself one last time
- opening my hands!

truth beyond the lies
that paint life as me and mine
- nameless and selfless!

awaken, let go!
there are no walls between us,
sameness, unity.

cold water, deep breath,
the flower opens, and dies...
and life remembers.

follow no one else
your heart is the universe
your mind holds the sky

limitless, be free
give without thought, without need,
plant the seed, go home!
