Buddha

I was there
and none showed me how to open the God's door
I used to walk but I was where I was before
I belittled myself it was not fair
I turned my head and it was there
what I was looking for

Buddha, I could know your guidance
I am at your feet to free my mind
this is my own peace that I could find
Buddha, I am ready to leave all behind

I was so clung to my cold-pain
I didn't know how to forgive my mistakes
I saw your peace falling as rain
I was so sure your dharma takes
this sorrow afar from my disillusion
I opened my eyes to a new vision

Buddha, I chant peacefully your mantras
it's a connection to the universe
I see myself through your sutras
Buddha, I pray your ultimate verse

I stopped blaming others for my sorrow
I stopped waiting for another tomorrow
I learned to live in the present and now
I fall on my knees and I bow
thanking for finding you somehow

There is charm, fluency, and clarity in these lines. I especially cherish the last two stanzas. Keep posting!
