Early on:


I Understand~
The object of my ardor and
beatific smile
Is he who made life bright for me
in holy inspiration style
He has a quiet, gentle way The Buddha
would have blessed
His caring and devoted ways a guru's
life finds best

He has a healthy balance of zen filled life
and fun
He makes you feel you have impressed
and lauds you to the sun
He captured my devotion
in far reaches of my soul
The passion felt so deep for him
fights decorum for control

So many people claim first place
within his loving heart
But they don't understand him
and denigrate each part
How can I show his captors
of my faithful pure desires
I know they'd rather see me roast
over wild and open fires.
