As For Now..

In the vast emptiness you would expect just that,
emptiness.
Not this high grey wall that exists in my mind.
It blocks me from reaching enlightenment,
it slows me down.

My karma will better itself,
allowing me to break through the grey.
But when will I reach peace?
Or does that not matter? Probably not.
As for now, I meditate.

When my time comes I will know it,
and I will understand.
My mind will be free, my head clear.
It's the journey there that will be troublesome,
but I have all the time in the world.
