Manifestation Of A Buddha Poem by Cheryl Lynn Moyer Peele
Manifestation Of A Buddha
A child missing for a year in remote Nepal,
re-emerges now 'The Enlightened one, '
the reincarnated Buddha, cross-legged
beneath a tree. No sign of ten months
of hunger or thirst for anything but silent prayer.
Bamjon, last seen by tens of thousands
in 2005 now has shoulder length hair
with his body wrapped in a simple white cloth.
People are walking to see him, to be touched
by a God, some believe. These terrible times
have called him forth. Molding him into
Buddha himself, who said, “All that we are
is the result of what we have thought.
The mind is everything. What we think
we become.”
And so he has.
This poem has great potential, quit cool, really enjoy reading through
That's a brilliant expression of the passage of time and circumstance, Deb
I hate to insult as i am a fan of your work but it seems like a first draft, although it has great potential and great meaning.
Wow is all I can say! It embodies tight historical context with the smooth running of verse. Thank you!
For me this poem has very little to do with religious orientation. It tells an interesting story, which is supported by the excellent use of blank verse as a technical aesthetic. Basically I think it's less important to focus on any religious content but rather to feel what has been written here. And I mean FEEL. Because, for my 10c worth, I think this piece can be as ariligious as it might be riligious. The question is; which iterpretaion makes ht epiece more intriguing?
beautiful use of imagery that encapsulates the meaning of the poem... even though i am not religious it managed to capture my attention... keep it up :)
Sorry but I have logged on after a long long time... Hi...you have nicely written... When God holds someone's hand in Hid Hand then nothing remains valuable for someone.... prayers...keep it up...
Hi Cheryl...Nicely manifested. We all have a Buddha inside. The sole purpose of our existence is to realize and bring out the Buddha in us from within. Not everyone may be able to achieve that but manifest to some extent or the other to make the world a better place to live in! !
oh God what a great poem and inspiring one. it really touched my heart. keep it ip the good work.
