Bodhisattva.

maybe i will become Bodhisattva
to complete the circle
   to form new beginnings and fuse old starts
maybe i will light the world on fire.
does the snow fall because it wants to touch my skin?
did it fall just to see what happens down here
   instead of up there
   where everything is illuminated in crystalline clouds and pure rain water?
maybe i will submit to compassion
and tear up every time i hear the birds sing and every time the wind pulls my hair.
do i have devotion for my life?  my god(s)?  my mind?

you know that feeling of stretching as far as you can
rooting your heels to the ground and reaching tall as trees to touch the sky?

that's kinda what it feels like.
to become.
