bodisattva vow

it may be
   we are meant to float
   in a soundless ocean of
om

to thunder forever like the
   voiceless word of
God

to disembody our
   selves like holy dürer hands
   in the practice of
perfection.

but i am willing to
   forfeit these treasures for
love

to slip back in
   to this body again &
   again for your
love.

it must be that
   this earth is enlightened
   by sun
light

& its iron core
   is filled with the
   magnetism of sacred
energies.

who knows the why of
   this animated
dream?

has the patience of
   stone? the innocence of
water?   

therefore i vow to
   flower on the inside of your
heart

to realize the purpose of this
   universe which is

love.

as undeniable as
   yin & yang
as unrenounceable as
   life
as invincible as
   surrender.

thus will i dive again &
   again into this
fleshy world

to save you

to save all sentient creatures

   to save myself.
