The man left his daily time of meditation
(to watch the news on TV)
only to encounter consternation.
He wondered,
Where can my new found Peace be?
Yes, the Temporary Occupant entered,
the man watched his new friend Peace flee.
Only then did Peace he again see,
“My Peace hasn’t fled;
my Peace is still here with me.
From that eternal Peace,
not even the Temporary Occupant
can blind me from knowing in my heart,
‘Once I was blind, but now I see.’”
