Take Me To Nirvana
At the time, just around twilight
When it’s neither dark nor light
For some profound thoughts to reflect
Snub evil ideas that infect the intellect
Wrap around you a swathe of silence
Peel off layers from your conscience
Where there’s no sense of shame or regret
Feeling neither guilt nor in despair, fret,
Find a purpose in the labyrinth of the mind
How vast our wants, our thoughts how blind,
Disallow all that your teachings suggest
The way to Nirvana within yourself did rest.
