gratitude for saints

grateful for saints
seen and unseeable
100 million Buddhas
Siddhas, seers, sages
enlightened Bubbes
freeing sentient beings
and every being insentient
each pebble and star
each molecule, atomic particle
each grain of light
in this ocean of luminosity
the expanses of darkness
in the folds of black velvet unconscious
I salute the world saviors
the day laborers
on with the light, back to the laundry
down the mountain of realization
to mingle with the ordinary
rub shoulders, impart vicarious sparks
