Heaven - A Poem
    #6605955 - 02/24/07 03:19 PM (17 years, 1 month ago)

So blue is the ocean,
Infinite is the mind.
So bright are the heavens,
Luminous is the mind.

Expanse of heaven
Meets with deep blue ocean.
Union at horizon
Takes me beyond breath.

Heaven is bullshit.
And hell the religion of fear.
Man needs no God
Freedom is innate.

Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
July 13, 1997

All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

:smile: I like the message of the poem, but the way it's put together doesn't really speak to my personal aesthetics.

"Freedom is innate."  I think that's the most important line.  It is the fear that we are not free to create, that our strings are being pulled, and that we are being led toward something, that is the cause of paranoia and delusion.

Until you know down to your bones that you are totally free, unbound by the ghosts of Ultimate Morality, of Eternal Damnation, of Death, you ARE having your strings pulled.  There is no reality but that which we create.  Until you're creating your own compassionate metaphors, you're living in someone else's. :heart:

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Try this then.:)

Roses are Red
Violets are Purple
Sugar is sweet
Just like Maple Surple


By the way it's not easy to rhyme with purple.:crazy2:

Obviously the writer of the poem is a child of the devil.
(I couldn't resist.)
