Zen Ken.....Another Chapter of My Friend

Poem

Kady Birdwhistle
Inconcievable Ken is
Delivering us sentient being to a place of peace
Tonight I wish to write what Ken is and I will

All conceptions are amazing to Ken
He won't disturb your thought but let you think
That's the Buddah- land he sways in

Hinayana disciples will listen closely
As they see the oneness that Ken provides
Larger than the human body inscrutable as it is

The mental beings all have wombs to create
Giving birth as they see fit, Ken grabs his pen
He sees the Bhumis and idea of forgivness

The skill of conversion from realism to poetry
Ken can accomplish the task, a paramita
Buddah says his prajnas when he meditates

Do you feel it with me?
Tell me true?
Can you FEEL it?

All things come to an end and we know this
But the Buddah told Ken to see the fantastic blossom
Of life unworried about the dualism of riches and hatred

Buddah's Hymn speaks through Ken
You are my light and lantern as I need refuge
No other may do this for me the feeling of self

On a paper of plant or asphalt Ken does write
In searching of miraculous points he finally does see
He is the distinction between figures of speech and reality

Do you FEEL IT????
Do you get the KEN VIBE????
Can you grab the essence while he lives??????
Can you????

I think you can

A poem for a very dear friend Ken aka Coffee Mugg, just a little shout-out to a poet who does not get the credit he deserves
