What is the meaning of life?*

What is the meaning of life?*

A sage set out on a journey to see what to be sought

The masters told him, that really this is all for naught

So he went out anyway and this is how he starts

The masters seen him off, wished him well as he parts

He knew of many hardships along many miles

And to see of these hardships including his own trials

But he pressed onward, still sought what he needed to do

Another day that has come and gone as he went on through

Knowing of a teacher that sat on the top of a mountain

Greatness of his wisdom, flowing like a fluid fountain

Standing in front of the behemoth, beginning to make his climb

One foot over the other, exhaustion sets in on the incline

He finally sees his destiny, in his eyesight

Trembling to know of this wise man to set him right

He walks up to the master, filled with so much to be wise

Kneels and bows in front of him and looks into his eyes

The master said that "you have traveled so far"

"It is you coming here in knowing who you are"

"So what shall it be, loyal to your heart, my young sage?"

"I can put an end to your "thought" and your rage"

The sage looked up at the master and started to say

"What is the meaning of life? And then I shall be on my way"

The master gave a stern look and was very discreet

"One should not know of this because one will be complete"

"And when one is complete, they are no longer needed here"

"You will no longer exist, you know the answer crystal clear"

"As you see now that you have found out what this is with one's last breath"

"Once one finally knows of this, their life is now over and now it is death"

So there is no real meaning to life, for meanings have endings you see

Just leave well enough alone and let everything be

Life is a journey with interest to enjoy along the way

And something not to figure out making one go astray

Go in peace and never look back on what you seek

Search no longer, listen not to your "mind" but a heart that speaks

Logic did not put you here to be complete but love to be whole

That love is within you always and that love has no meanings

It is your Soul*

"Eye" see you*

"Eye" see you*

Seek me not for what is sought is within

Not seeing me at all from time and time again

You woke up every day and wondered how this turns out

All you did was live in your own doubt

You never gave yourself one iota of a chance

Entertaining ignorance in a dance

But now the tide has turned as you will see

Both of us to be one as I know you agree

For what we both see is now in view

It is you that sees me as I always seen you

Love and trust, the awakened lotus*

Love and trust, the awakened lotus*

Worldly pleasures of desires so deep

Attached to those things that the heart does not keep

A darkened world that is stuck like the mud in the pond

Illusions to tempt to excite not to make calm

But something is not with that world within

It has been awakened always to be born again

It sleeps away from that darkness it does not see

It is not of any shadow for it is truly free

When the sun comes up in the daylight

It knows when a path is made, leaving the night

Protected by love, petals look like hands folded to a prayer

Through cool murky waters, awakened to be here from there

Now it has surfaced and it shows its beauty to the world

Petals open up, received the love as it unfurls

It sees itself always as it is in a consciousness that trusts

Coming here over and over, enlightened where it is,

For it is the beauty of the awakened lotus

Nothing lets go of all*

Nothing lets go of all*

Ignorance attaches to so many things

It comes in attraction that this does bring

It sees its victim as temptation begins

The more you hold on, it starts over and over again

An anchor that you just do not see

How is one liberated from this and let it be?

But not to seek such things and pay attention in the surround

You can see this in plain sight, it is all around

It is not of material as this is perceived

For its substance carries all, emptiness to believe

It knows of all that grows from their seed

It is nothing that knows it has everything it does not need

Now within, out of time*

Now within, out of time*

Something keeps moving about

It does not stop, there is no doubt

Running in increments in a chase

A rhythm that continues seems like a race

It is an illusion that one feels they have to beat

Looking at this, no one ever defeats

But seconds roll by, hearing tick tock

A face that looks, hands direct, it's a clock

Following this, one can be stressed

To keep up with this, no one can rest

So we can definitely see, this puts one in a bind

Until it no longer exists, when one is out of time

Even darkness lightens up*

Even darkness lightens up*

A journey came early as it shed some light

The sun walked the sky until it became night

Darkness was all around after all this

It engulfed all in the surround and nothing was missed

Light arose again as it was the moon

Alone in the window, it smiled at me and the radiance filled the room
