Loy Krathong

Lanterns are released,
Suffering is released.
Commonality is found
By the milky light of the full moon.

Suffering becomes lighter, 
Weight is lifted--
The lanterns go higher 
Because our suffering is fuel.
Suffering feeds the fire.

Collective intentions to release 
Suffering are on display by 
The thousands tonight.
The whole sky is made that much
More beautiful and bright because of
The pain of the people in
This blessed city.

Fire is our element tonight:
Lanterns, candles, fireworks, incense.
Fire transforms everything it touches--
It is never the same again.
Everything unnecessary is burnt.
A new pathway becomes more clear.
We have more space to work with.
We pay homage to ourselves,
As we acknowledge and accept
All of ourselves.

Karma shifts, and the new beginning arrives
Full of the most encouraging possibility.
