Gods and Bodhisattvas

The love and reverence
Of gods and bodhisattvas
Elevates art and architecture
Creating glorious beauty
Magnificent engineering

I remind myself
To love and revere every being
Every living thing as if
Each were a god or bodhisattva

The glory and beauty
Of this world in my eyes
Depends on this vision

Hate and hubris
Invoke demons and darkness

An ugliness of my creation
