NIRVANA

“NIRVANA”

Traveling alone

on this road

called Life,

I

stopped by

this old town

called Yesterday.

In

this town

the streets were

ragged and grey.

Therefore, I decided not to stay.

Next

along my path,

I

stopped in a

City call Compassion.

There

I learned

many lessons.

Yet still I did  not stay!

Instead,

I drove East

stopped at a gas

station call Forgiveness

and proceeded on.

Finally

,

after a long dark

bumpy road,

I reached a town

called Nirvana.

There

the streets were

radiant and blissful!

I met 

its

Mayor Mr. Awakening

who 

assured me

that I was

never alone.

Fo

r it is there

that my Soul

calls home!
