White Snow
01/20/2024

Sickness, Old Age, and Death,
they all bring great suffering,
yet the foolish man neglects karma,
and chases after evil pleasures
What good is this body?
When all things fall apart,
the body goes in terror and sickness,
then we realize the futility of all.
Even with all suffering,
I place my trust in Dharma,
I Hope that evil doers change their ways,
and realize the peace that comes within.
The snow piles on the rooftop,
All sheets of pure white cloth,
The trees remain quiet in winter,
I breathe long to see nature at ease.
My heart goes to them,
who neglect their duties,
and allow selfish desires to plant,
To them I bow, who
bring the worst of worst,
to the shore of Awakening.
