when the dream rings in the buddha hall

when the dream rings in the buddha hall
we shall know we are awake
to this moment of breath--beginning

to rise from our bellies, believing
all thoughts learned are unnecessary
as honouring each moment resonates

in the perfection of all that is
being beauty, loving love
peaceful peace drumming

years of yearning turning into rain
clouds, pouring--all that we know
is what we can let go of

sailing onto Bethlehem
allowing the birth to carry
a tune of ancient starfish

ferries bringing cherries
to the mainland---soul's pure land
leaving the powdered bones

behind, we worship
palms together, creating
warmth to light up the world

Kate Lamberg
