SWALLOWING THE MOON AS WE FEEL FREE by Chogyam Trungpa
Let us swallow the moon
Let us give birth to the sun
Let us lick the sharp sword
Let us ride the stallions, saddled with crescent moon
Let us not be terrified
Let us relax on the earth of Shambhala ground
Where the skylarks roam freely
And where the arrogant deer frolic
Let us celebrate at this Midsummer's festivity where clouds float freely.
Unpublished poem for Midsummer's Day composed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, June 21, 1983
