Becoming of pure soul



BECOMING OF PURE SOUL
=======================
Your saintly
blessings
awakened
the pilgrim Soul
in me
so pure to anyone --
to receive a polluted stream
without becoming impure---
the path slowly reveals itself
my destination certain
Like the voices in the air
Of singing
stay here among the trees
while the garden is resting
around the reflection of sky in the lake
