look up into the sky
look into the Baby Buddha’s eyes.
despite his declaration: “Only I am holy”
we love the Baby Buddha anyway.
before he could teach us to WAKE UP
he let go of silver spoons to grow up.
look into the Baby Buddha’s eyes
in the face of everyone you meet.
in the early morning twilight
as planets align in the eastern sky
buffalo graze on tallgrass.
Happy Buddha’s Birthday
