I Left the Bonds of Eons Behind

“Why?” I asked.
He smiled—
peace glowing
like a hundred suns.

“Who?” I asked.
He turned to me,
his steps gentle,
light as breath.

“Where?” I asked.
The Buddha—serene,
a blossom of the divine—
walked ahead
in calm, gentle strides.

I followed—
and left the bonds
of eons behind.
