in the hospital
amid flowers and visitors,
baby yawns and
samsara begins
here begin joy and hope,
fear and adversity,
desire and discipline
a beautiful son
formed in wondrous detail
with vibrant health in his eyes,
and a strong mother
ready for her long devotion
a new tree
planted in the old earth,
a clean slate
to be written on in
the same old language...
hopefully better stories
to be told
this time around
outside the hospital,
Rahu eats the moon
and this flashing world is restored
to primal night
for some years yet
(until chalk boards and teachers)
amid the flowers
and the cards,
(it's hard to say it)
samsara begins

simply__mealmost 13 years agoof samsara, but looking it up, it is defined as to perpetually flow, if this is the meaning you intend, I have created my own understanding of what you are intending to state, right or wrong. I'm thinking in terms of the flow if life.
WillowedCabinalmost 13 years agoI'm no expert, but I couldn't get through the poem easily because my brain was trying to reconcile what it knew to be samsara with what you have written. Do you mean to say that there was nothingness before this baby? Which would be fine, but I'm not sure that's what you meant. Are you trying to say that the baby is now a part of samsara? The problem with this poem is it has a beginning; this is incongruent with the concept of infinite. Or perhaps you mean that to the perspective in the poem, samsara has been revealed? I'm going to come back later and attempt to wrap my head around this.
