I Know Why The Buddha Smiles (for Stella)

Your Buddha smile reminds me
there are rightful states of
happiness and bliss
which are ours to enjoy,
for happiness is our natural state
no matter those illusions family,
or friends,
or you,
or I,
may weave and wear
like fine linens of gold.
We are deeply entwined;
this I know because
it rests,
sweetly and silently,
deep within that hidden place in my heart,
where perfection of all things,
“like drops of dew, or flashes of lightning,”
dwell forever
and even yet another day,
for that is the love
I hold for you.
