Acceptance
Acceptance
Could you accept this man …
wearing worn clothes
with no jewelry’s
bling, bling
who owned not
one material thing
Could you accept this man …
who rhymed poetical
from his mind
seeking dharma
sublime
wisdom’s peace
you’d help him find
Could you accept this man …
whose compassion
for lost souls
flow
like the Ganges untold
into myriad dimensions
too void less to mention
yet would spend
ten thousand upon
ten thousand years
for just a moment
of your attention
Could you accept this man …
who feared
your beauty within
that shines so bright
it’s the constant sparkle
that lights his eyes
the brilliance
he wishes he could
lose himself inside
Could you accept this man …
your womb he’d seed
raise a future indeed
of respected queens
and kings
taught not to follow
but forever lead
yet humble in spirit
truly be
Could you accept this man …
that is beauty’s beast
in his heart
a darkness keep
but through
patient guiding
love
find the way
and rise above
finding release
in harmony
that never ceased
Could you accept this man …
faithfully true
no matter
what you’d do
being there
until the end
and could truly claim
all we’ve been through
could you …
