And each day
passes by
in a melancholy haze,
not knowing where we're going,
or even where we've been,
searching for a lost Nirvana
in the doldroms of our souls
and our life.
and with each day that passes
what can we do but hope,
or dream?

what is this maya?
what is this haze?

a motel for our souls
before the greater journey ensues
--one that has to end with happiness
-because-well,
what else is left?

Perfect blessedness.  So beautiful.  This certainly is an illusory world when you contemplate what is told to be waiting for us afterward.  You've written clearly about a controversial subject in just a few words.  Beautiful!  Truly enjoyed this!!

 She says baby,
It's 3am I must be lonely,
When she says baby,
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes,
Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it.

I love you baby... always.*

Rich, The first part of your verse had me thinking of my teen years, searching for a direction to my life. Very good, and thoughtful.....Bill

This is sad yet beautiful, Rich. Well done. I'm sure everyone can relate to this.
