Kundalini Splendor

Enough

It is this:
this bird cutting
its fine arc
across our sky
defining possibility.

Or perhaps this:
the goldfish
which swam right
to the surface,
as if to say hello
from some other planet
or plane of being.
.
Maybe it was the wild deer
which stood at attention
as we passed by,
then thundered away
to its hidden lair.

Or even that one flower
still spreading its wondrous
purple wings bravely
after all the others
had gone,
taken shelter below.
Where did it find
its enduring intent?

Any one of these
brings completion,
says, This is sufficiency,
is all
you need.
