POEMS GROUP 26: NIRVANA

निर्वाण (NIRVANA) - SALVATIONS I:

HOW CAN MY MIND BE EMPTY NOW

How can my mind be empty now
When all I see is everything
And though my soul would like to sing
I fear it has forgotten how

Thus stare I into an abyss
As know I not how long I have:
As time flows by awaiting death
All goals I had now seem amiss

And yet, still here I am, it seems,
Though lacking in what easy came,
Surrender'd be the only shame

Thus till we see the sun's last beams,
To fight we have just all the same
Till once forgotten be our name.
