Sonnet 4

Brian K. Noe · April 28, 2024 ·

Everything Comes and Goes Except the Truth

The rich young man asked what else he need do
To which the Master replied “One thing more:
Come with me, once you give all to the poor.”
He went away sad. He could not let go.
The Master sent forth the seventy-two
To heal and to preach. He said don’t prepare
Provisions will come from God’s ample store
Take no gold nor extra clothing with you
How much baggage do I carry around?
How much do I cling to things material?
Thinking I am who I think that I am
Like Chinese fingercuffs keeping me bound
Patterns of grasping, deep, emotional
To loosen the grip: Satya Hai Ram Naam

Unconscious Cleptomania

We believe that we would never steal and
Look with no mercy on any who do
But we go grabbing for anything new
Always scrolling for a great new deal and
Nevermind the child who toils at the wheel and
Endless insatiable desires pursue
We believe we own all in our purview
Yet today we live on unceded land
Can we turn from consumption? Theft? Disgrace?
That which failure to trust God evinces?
You can never get enough of those things
You didn’t really want in the first place
So pine not for objects of the senses
We have all we need – all good gifts He brings

The Way of Light

As grime upon a looking glass obscures,
The patterns of conditioned mind conceal
The fundamental truth of what is real
And to the consciousness falsehood inures
Distortion both profound and slight occurs
Without which would the clearer light reveal
A way to live serene and more ideal
The Path Eternal victory assures
I shall polish the mirror of my heart
With the dust of my Guru’s lotus feet
Shall sing the names of God who shelters me
Shall keep my word without pretense or art
Shall walk the Way of Light with no retreat
Shall know the truth and it shall make me free

Dharma Mice

The little woodland creatures in our homes
All scurry here and there to make their keep
We scurry too, more fanciful our ways
Yet scurry nonetheless from rise till sleep
Our trail of crumbs and refuse fills the earth
And washes on the shores of distant lands
A legacy of chicken bones we leave
The Anthropocene’s plastic we bequeath
First do no harm: Let us ahimsa keep.
The less we take, the less we do, is well
To think about the impact of our steps
And mindful of the others who here dwell
To walk lightly, though wander we apace
To trust that all is ever in its place
