Boddhisattva in Vitro
As a piece of the whole,
Of that infinite night,
Of silence and sound
And divine love and light,
With purpose defined
In between, long ago,
To choose among options,
To venture and grow
In service help others,
Comprehension acquire,
Through hard-gained experience
Spiraling higher;
By questing for knowledge
Understanding is gained,
And that nurtures wisdom
Thus growth is attained
Live full in this temple
While stardust evolves,
Till the boundary of science
And spirit dissolves;
Till, spiral still higher
The true self is known;
Bodhisattva in vitro:
It’s time to go home.
