Two Buddhas
I made another throne to be by mine,
But no one's in this realm to sit by me
For, when I made this realm to be my shrine,
I thought that, by myself, I would be free,
But Buddhas sitting side by side rejoice
When someone's found to fill the other throne.
Remaining in this realm would be my choice.
I'd live forever, but I'd be alone.
It's not enough to live forever, though,
And I would give eternity if I
Could only have a man to love and know,
Although that means that one day I will die.
Descending back to earth I'm finally free,
Although I've given up eternity.
