What is the mind
a conceptual rendering
of experience

of both the physical
and intelluctual property
of man

What feeding glimpse
of truth
may lay claim to it

What feeble father
reclaims the son

the brilliant rays have
forever been casting
wisdom a headlight
on the cold jagged edge
of eternity . . .

the compassion sea
was never stronger than
its unencumbered fury -

never more real
or certain
than the moonlit calm
of ebb and flow

transient things and
transcendant forms
