Samadhi

"Meditating by the lake,

the yogi becomes the lake.

Meditating by a fire,

the yogi becomes

the flame,

the crackling branch,

the oak,

the acorn.

She becomes one with the object of her meditation.

She becomes the red-rock canyon wall

or soft and green like the moss.

She smells the roses and there is only one fragrance.

No thought of roses

She achieves samadhi."
