The Rainbow In My Life by Julian Colgan

The rainbow in my life is anyone who
takes great joy in liberating
sluggish mentalities from the great selfishness
of a severely watered down conception of being.

The rainbow in my life is anyone who
commits to their vow to be
a healing herb for the sick and wounded
and to be a tree of compassion for
those who have been burned by
the scorching rays of overly heated individuals.

The rainbow in my life is anyone who
deflects the impurity that is samsaric sorrow
from reaching more and more defenseless 
and innocent new born children;
knowing that the future depends upon
the health and sanity of mature growing adults.

The rainbow in my life is anyone who
cannot stand the treasonous actions
of corporations who are too lustfully stupid
to know the difference between harmony and deliberate disharmony.

The rainbow in my life is anyone who
shows goods deeds and motivations
to be better than the opposite route of
criminal behavior as it morphs into pledging allegiance
to a number of flags and badges which are soaked in the blood
of past generations, present generations and future generations of bodhisattvas.

The rainbow in my life is anyone who
recognizes mara as their own unbridled and reckless minds.
Habituated to slide between the pros and cons of mindfulness,
there is only virtue and merit in learning how to
comfortably sit on the mind's disruptiveness
as a sage glides on the winds as if it were second nature.

The rainbow in my life is anyone who
loves the dharma as an ultimate guide to
navigating the ocean of suffering
which stems from unregulated desires
and uncertainty in being able to overcome
the influences of one's own deep seated desire to desire.

The rainbow in my life is anyone who
prepares for their own enlightenment
as the sun takes on its own effulgence
or as the sky looks so pure just by being so open and wide.

The rainbow in my life
is our own mind transformed
from a rock like immovable state
to a gushing and free flowing state of awakening.
