Backyard Buddha
Mr. Backyard Buddha statue
an icon of perfect equanimity,
his gaze never changing,
his posture, perfectly still.
He sits through all seasons,
rain or shine,
never complaining, never budging.
Such inspiration to me.
But Mr. Backyard Buddha statue,
where is the love, the warmth,
the sympathetic joy?
You also make me appreciate
the gift of human life.
