on the path

with tyler dewar

happy cuija

laughing herself away

in the expanse of sound-emptiness

elegant wasp
flying itself away
in the expanse of appearance-emptiness

joyful cat
purring himself away
in the expanse of bliss-emptiness
*
your voice is 
the thunder that cuts through
my misconceptions

your compassion is
the rain that washes away
my ignorance

your wisdom is
the lightning that illuminates
the true nature of my mind
*
to my guru
i prostrate with gratitude

to my own buddhahood
i surrender with confidence
