Celtic Buddhist Musings (English)

each blissful martyred minute
embrace it
hold it as long as you can
live in it
the dream will not last forever
you will miss it when it's over
asuras
devas
men
or meeker
life is the knotwork
our thoughts the silver thread
our inner soul the memory
time from time
dream to dream
when at last you surrender to darkness
when at last there is no choice but to surrender
do it sweetly
serenely
accept your fate
revel in the moment of release
discovery
let the last moment you taste be as soft as it can be
embrace the valley of death
as though it were your home
whatever else it may be
it is a release
a recompense
at least a momentary peace
like life
it is a gift we are all granted
and one we cannot deny
something that cannot be avoided
should not be loathed
rather accepted
cherished
achieved
let the path to that place be long
beautiful
eventful
and its end welcome
