Buddhist Nun
Eyes which echo like conch shells From canyons of stone and sun Where Bodhi trees collect on hillsides For the little Buddhas to proliferate enlightenment Where her eye facets go starry Like the diamond of the sutra Spoken by Siddhartha But growing like a child in her scriptural womb Where consolation floats like a constellation Of Himalayan stars over a unicorn forest Where the singing bowls Turn her mind into a magnifying glass Which focuses the sun of truth to burn a hole Through the stale air of catchphrases Designed to trigger the brain Into a synaptic meltdown

Quite the feast for the mind here, as they say "brain food". That first line grabs hold and takes the reader on a rich and spiritual journey.

You have penned brilliant and profound imagery throughout this poem and really nailed these closing lines: "Which focuses the sun of truth to burn a hole Through the stale air of catchphrases designed to trigger the brain into a synaptic meltdown"
