# 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
