on lily pond is pink lotus
like heart opening in love
eyes turn upward to clear sky
expanse of cloudless blue above

in meadow is magnificent horse
with brown and shiny coat and
its mane hangs darkly, turns head
sideways, stretches long throat

every Sunday morning
people gather to meditate
at around about eleven
quietly sit or contemplate

iron-bark and native bush Great
Stupa and Gompa surrounds
something magical about place
life-giving splendour abounds
