Buddha with the sword

Upon the hill, stillness stood guard, where dawn kissed the blade's gleam, his robes whispered like dry winds, yet his hands bore no trembling. A sword, not for war’s endless thirst, but to sever illusion’s thick binds. Buddha carved silence through chaos, bearing truth as his steel companion. Enemies rose, shadows of self-delusion, the darkest fears wore mortal faces. Each fell, not by the weapon’s wrath, but by wisdom’s strike, clean, precise. His sword sang not of mortal wounds, but of life cut from false desires. A hero's path, neither death nor blood, but carving open the unseen chains. Buddha, unyielding, a tempest of still fire, wielding clarity sharper than any edge. The sword now rested against the moon; peace no longer wore the shadow of fear.
