Enigmatic Nirvana

Self Understanding, Enlightenment

Enigmatic Nirvana

Celestial rising
Queer feelings—butterflies stomach
Emotions riding rollercoaster loops
Center shifting
Feet off the ground—cloud dweller
Highs the highest
Lows insurmountable—sink

☼☼☼☼☼☼☼

Never lingering long
Disheartened
For seeking ever to find
Nirvana pure
Actual self realized
Promise not found in others
Self-understanding your bliss
Others place to high a demand
Enlightenment—enigmatic
The true mystery is life

☼☼☼☼☼☼☼

Live with a joy
A smile real seen
Hope and faith bed partners
Arm in arm surrounding
High up rise you—phoenix
From ashes find yourself purged
A new creature
For the flames have purified you

☼☼☼☼☼☼☼

Your Nirvana is—
Life lived—absolutely embraced
Paradise, glory
Love is your Eden
No poison apple—bite
You have created this state
Mind

☼☼☼☼☼☼☼

So drive out the demons—fear
Revel in the bliss
Moments passing
Sore the place of your enlightenment—heal
Ever onward
Shine…
