Over many lifetimes,
I have mastered the Words.
Now I need,
To master the Silence.
Leave the world of things
And step into the void;
Then wait for it,
To fill, with all I am!
This final step,
Is not in books;
Nor in holy places.
It is in the Here & Now
I stand at the door,
Uncertain, unsure;
My heart tugging one way,
My mind, another.
I thank my Gurus,
For bringing me here,
And pray to them,
To bless me,
With their grace,
One more time!
