Friend and beloved

Friend and beloved

oh my friend
and beloved
at vipassana retreat
in silent meditation
the house is bleak and cold
without you

but to me
I can feel you
your ups and your downs
your vibrating silence
surprises me
again and again

wherever you are
you are in me
as love
in my heart
love pervaded
into my being

and the house is glad
you are back again
enlighten his space
warm his rooms
with your loving
presence
