' Laughing Buddha '...

When I broke open
Buddha broke open,
And neither of us
has been the same since.

In an instant
we fell into each other laughing
and neither one of us survived.

But still the sun shines in the morning
and sets in the evening.

I am like a friendly old dog now
wearing my master's night slippers,
Yet somehow
they fit perfectly.
