Description
I worry and wonder about the world around me.
The things that happen and that don't,
make me worry about the things I cannot see.
I sit, my head turning this way and that way.
The bad things capturing my attention,
the good things being what I hope will stay.
In the end, my life crashes into life's great wall.
And all of the things I wrap myself with
become the very things that cause my life to stall.
So I will choose to be a leaf in the stream.
I choose to be a part of the water around me
and bathe in the sun's bright reflective gleam.
I will not drive myself to this direction or that one.
Let the stream of the world just go about it's way;
and I will move along, carefree, not becoming undone.
There is neither good, nor evil in the world around me.
Things merely are what they are just as I am just a leaf;
They are not identified until I make a choice and decree.
In the stream, I float; I am the stream that surrounds.
I do not exist as I float along with no will,
untouched, I travel, as the world's occurences abound.
Knowing nothing and dying to the self as I go with the stream
that is enlightenment that brings a glimpse of Nirvana
seeing this, I understand the world is more and less than it may seem.
