As It IS

When we see all it is as it is
The willow is green
The flower is red
The sun is bright
The moon is silent

When we see all it is as it is
Breath is life
Life is living
Death is dying
Both are the same

When we see all it is as it is
A world of browns, darks or whites
They are but naked, colourless souls
Travellers of life-times
Embodiment of Truth

When we see all it is as it is
The Inner world is a mystery
The outer world oblivious
The inner world is the truth
The outer world is civilized

When we see all it is as it is
The oak is beautiful and so is the bamboo
Seeing existence as it is
Appreciating what ‘is’
The world reflects what we are and that is what it is
