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*
