# Unconquerable
Indomitable, Invincible
Unconquerable is he
Aloof and distant
And Unattainable is he;
So strong and so silent
So proud and detached
So near, yet never further apart
The quintessential monk is he.
Enduring, invincible
The straight path undertaking
Upholding the faith
With power to protect
Though danger befall
And enemies grow tall.
O sacred duty!
So pure and pristine,
That only serves
And looks not behind;
So irrepressible and enduring
The piety inviting,
Cloying, irresistible
O monk divine!
Exemplary, classic
Long strides not withstanding
Soft, slow smile inviting
Beckoning and summoning,
All, through this detached
Reserved disconnect.
Still separate, desolate,
Isolated, and still never
So desperately further apart;
While devotion mine
Boundless and Silent
Unceasing, infinite
Lies trampled,
Rejected,
Alone and mundane…
~ Judith Vaddi
