Buddha Mind

Just when you thought you’ve accomplished some crafts-
the Buddha mind laughs.
Already you’re unraveling your first big error-
stitches going “bye-bye” on your hand knit blanket.

Just when you thought you did the right thing
through truth & honesty-
you find out your truth telling got a man testy,
which in turn made him act out hasty.
Shot a guy on the grid. Now he’s dead.
It’d have been safer if he was mislead.

Just when you thought you made a good decision
based on an inner vision you held so tight,
choosing to walk away from the fight.
So the guy instead ended up in a brawl,
right outside with your best friend, Paul!

Just when you thought the perfect job was right around the corner-
SNAP! You trip on a bulging tree root and bust your knee cap.
Now you’re back in that medicine room
feeling like crap.

It’s like a destiny trap!
no future planning…
no looking back…
Just this moment.
How long will it last?
I’m not sure, just don’t let it pass.
Say hello with a kiss-
holding onto this state of nirvana
and ultimate bliss!
