Buddha made of brass

buddha made of brass
a cold cast rewarmed
on hearts funeral pyre
minds fire burnt black,

the ash pressed deep
in folded metal cloth
the hard lotus throne
melted in meditation,

a pale yellow youth
sits straight and thin
smile polished bright
a body made hollow.



John G.Hall(C)2004

That sums up what Buddha is.
Graven image in brass.
Well done.
