Awaken – A Poem

Posted: August 4, 2020

Read this beautiful poem about planting desires and realizing them.

I stay rooted in my pot
You put me in a spot

Oh human! I wait
To be nurtured
In your mind

I am your thought
A mind of action
For larger good

Neither am I stone
Nor wood
Let me live as
The seed of joy

Sing to rejuvenate
Love to see the
Buddha within

I wait to live
In your action
In your courage

I will grow
As you sow

Awaken!
