Inspired by Steely Dan's record track – Bodhisattva
I want to be
reborn again,
swaddled in
everlasting
Bodhisattva,
awakening
Nirvana,
breathing
in fresh
mountain air,
drawing strength
from Buddha's
challenging
though loving
charisma,
tracing flight
of migrating
birds that
spiral across
misty peaks,
watch them
scatter like
four winds,
still positive
in thought.

I empathise with your
I empathise with your feellings captured well in the last two verses, Jenny, but I couldn't look for it or expect it in any lasting way from the vague hopes of Buddhism, but in the peace that Jesus Christ came to offer us in his Father's love, forgiveness and his indwelling Holy Spirit, a new heart and life (it is a new birth) leading to full eternal freedom to come. (Sometimes music invokes relaxing feelings and desires more than the words that have been put to them).
Rhiannon (This reminded me of something I jotted down years ago, and had to search for on my computer this morning:
Swifts, swallows and martins
Flying with ease,
just as they please:
have you and I
a yearning to fly
up in the air
without a care?
Maybe we’re waiting the time we’ll be freed
from all that frustrates in the life that we lead
down here;
for one day we’ll be
strong, mobile and free
to serve our Redeemer
for ever and ever.
