Some of the Dharma

The lion under the bed
is mine.  I’ve used it
a thousand times.
I’ve woken up to nothing
before; I’ve woken
up to you.  The mantra
I’ve been using is this: ___       .
The letters in my box
are mostly from
the alphabet.  The other
half is more sensible.
Or sensitive.  The flower
I pull is tough like
a pug.  The last word is
stronger than the deluge strong.
I’ve learned.  I’m
applying only some of it.
