My Poem ~ Lati Rinpoche 1st Anniversary

Tonight, my heart was with my dear guru.
It is Lati Rinpoche's first anniversary
I heard his voice on the videos' rewind

I could not split myself either or 

Here i am i say, dear guru

Walking a path that 

I asked to be aligned, be an embodiment 

Of exalted wisdom and truth

I asked, what is a warrior's path?

A genuine path

Is it the same

As being in spirit all the time?

Being in channel  

Being in devotion 

But yet being in attachment

Is this the same?

Being with presence

Being in awareness

Yet attaching to love, to belong

Is this the same?

Is the dual self one, 

Or is the dual self in twos, 

In one sitting, in the same presence

Is it possible, is this the same?

What is and what isn't

What's the end that i desire?

Isn't desire one of the six hindrances

One of the mental defilement

Awareness and knowledge

Brings us out of our house

To see beyond

To see what's true

Attachment, once caught up

Brings us out of spirit

I thought it did 

I think it does

Can we love freely? 

Let go, it came freely

Can love give freedom

Let go, it came to give freedom 

It is such that we cannot hold 

If we tried, it meanders bold

Like a strong river cold

It's own nature holds

Tonight, my heart was with my dear guru

He was all i felt 

I remembered his voice

I remembered my vow

I remembered my path

Tonight, my heart was with my dear guru

It was a natural phenomenal

It was the warmest blessing

To be within this embodiment 

This is what i asked

This is what i seeked

This is what i choose

This is my path
