Buddhist embers started the glow

Lighting up the mind

Refreshing stale abandoned ideas

Drawing out the compassion that was buried

Passing out the love that unknowingly resided within

Healing the soul that was bloodied by religion

Looking inwards as well as outwards

Complacency left its perch

Taking to the wings of action

To learn 

Trying to hold out the helping hand

Being committed to life

Not just of humanity, but all life

Every single one so precious

All part of life’s jigsaw
