This World

I could never choose,
Even if it were possible,
A moment in which to leave this world.

For there will forever be,
Wonder upon wonder unfolding,
Beauty upon beauty arising.

And yes…
Sorrow upon sorrow endured,
And suffering upon suffering.

Inexpressible Bliss
Unimaginable Suffering,
All arising and vanishing.

All of the dualities of existence in form,
Ever changing, Ebbing and flowing,
In this Beautiful, Terrible Dream.
