Post your original poetry here!
Posted: Wed Jan 30, 2013 9:20 pm
Hey everyone,
I couldn't find any thing else like this on dhammawheel, but I have seen it on other forums, so I decided to start a place for members to post bits of original poetry or prose. I put it in the lounge due to the fact that not all poems may necessarily be dhamma related, but mods please move this wherever most appropriate.
I'd like to start with one that's a bit inspired by samsara.
-----------------------------
"Circles"
Floating lights up in the night,
a Heaven filled with Earth's delights.
We dine and die in aging fields,
dreams lit dim by sunshine.
The only sight one ever sees
a straight path through the rocks and trees
running still inside the wheel
the dancing thoughts of revelry.
Pulled into the lion's den
of mortal fears and mortal men
this beautiful impermanence
is just about to end.
------------------------------------
Post away!
Thanks,
Benjamin
