GOING NOWERE

GOING NOWERE

Morning, I dress myself like every day in white

Check my head, my bowl and try to do everything right

As a novice of this group I only follow the leader

Strolling on my sandals humble to my feeder

Back in my cottage I learn the holy scriptures well

Try to memorize every line until the bell

Meditation time has come and I move myself to the hall

We have to sit straight so I push my body against the wall

Hands move in devotion to the floor

Slowly bending till my head touch the ground

After three times moving up and start the sound

Monotonous chanting I move away from the door

My eyes close softly and chanting goes on

Vibrations of the sound

Makes the mind spinning around

After a few minutes I am gone

The mind splits away from body and earth

Coming to a platform wide and unseen

No fixed color not even green

It brings you back at days far before birth

A place not cold no fire

Every thing is striped of all desire

Time is of no essence and has no place 

Even me has lost all face

We are one with universal thoughts

No limitations are brought

To stop the mind from expanding further on

Yes I have the feeling it is easy to pass the sun

Slowly one little question glows up in space

Why are we so busy what is the race

Is time our only limitation

Or are we afraid of our own creation
