~ FLOR LIBRE

Hybiscus
Orchids and
Luscious green leaves,
A meditator's proxy
For the axis of
The mind

I find my spirit
Has exhausted
Its capacity to deal
With the world
And I'm in agony
From the wound

I distill my grief
To adapt to the
Present moment,
I'm ripping off
Every illusion,
Daring to bleed

I concentrate
The pain, but
I don't want relief:
I want life -
No enlightenment for me
But living
