Nirvana
Lost in the world, searching for answers.
Why do we only live once? Why are there no second chances?
What is the meaning of life? What is our purpose for being?
Why do we not yet know? Do you know the reason?
A search for enlightenment, using many different teachings;
I must find the answer, by using any means,
To reach a state of enlightenment and find my nirvana.
So I'll ask someone who knows; can you hear me Buddha?
To find your nirvana, follow the teachings of Buddha;
Buddha gained enlightenment, so you must become a Buddhist.
Buddha was an atheist, searching for his Heaven;
A way to be free and stop repeated reincarnation.
To reach a new state of consciousness,
You must become free from life and your attire.
Your possession’s you must leave behind and you must forget your desire.
To find freedom from life, you must want for nothing;
Then you shall become free, from eternal suffering.
From the pain of the circle of life being repeated;
Because Heaven can't be reached, if you’re always reincarnated.
To find enlightenment, forget human treasures;
To raise up into the sky, you must not crave possessions.
Trinkets or money or power keep you trapped and without insight.
They stop you leaving this life; they stop you reaching the light.
Buddha’s Buddhist’s, practice his teachings
And they lead their life in the way in which he believed,
Was the right thing to do and he did do it right;
Buddha left this world enlightened…he walked into the light.
To find your nirvana; to raise to a new state of consciousness,
Is to die as a man and then pray to go to Heaven and be blessed.
Maybe there is life after death
And maybe I will fly up and face God.
Maybe anything is possible...
But when I learn the truth, I will be gone.

Great write
Thanx.
Welcome
Your last line is Buddha's wisdom
but you may want to come back as many enlightened souls do? a free spirit has choice.
very nice piece you pen ww
Thank you. I have no idea what the future holds, so I haven't decided yet if I would want to come back. Hopefully I will have a choice when the time comes.
I want it all, I want it now and I want to take it with me! Just teasing, though I have had trouble with possessions letting them identify me. I like the letting go and I like very much the poem.
Thank you.
