Take Me To Nirvana

enlightened oblivion

paradox of fulfilled nothingness

the vacant treasure of passing on

in an air balloon without vulcanized rubber

all earthquakes extinguished

no fault lines exposed

compressed vacuum

bliss after blistered demise

and no more suffering

no stairway to heaven

nor stairway to hell

only memories left

though I cannot recall them

when time 

has ceased to exist

and matter won’t matter

"when time has ceased to exist and matter won’t matter" This happens in my mind, already. Great truth, Kai. Good entry for the contest. Good luck! Bill

We agree on most things. I still miss my wife. However I believe she's in heaven, because when I had need of her I pray through the Lord for deliverance. Best for a win.
