       We search Nirvana

The breeze that sweeps the oceans roar
Carries the sounds along the shore.
Mixing them with the rustling leaves
To fashions music through the trees.

Visions feast a rainbow stage
Causing shadows to engage
Bringing moments of the tease
To phantoms dancing on the breeze.

I look in awe on natures floor
Spellbound by the evermore.
Listening to the magic dole
Awakening my sleeping soul.

But ever it does fade away
It does not hold, it does not stay.
It falls the sky down into why
Into the upheaval of I.

T'is thus we trek each savannah,
Always searching for nirvana.

Provoked into thinking this is what I came up with... Thanks for the inspiration...  

Some into high mountains go,
Some into dense forests go,
Some into green grasslands go,
Some into deserted solitude go.

All seeking nirvana,
    their moment with destiny,
All gaining peace,
    their moment of tranquillity,
All trying to break
    everyday life's monotony,
Doing all this they go
     deep within their own soul-city...

Reaching one's own soul,
touching one's own spirit
is gaining Nirvana indeed....
-------

Seymour,
it is needless to say that I very much enjoyed reading your poem....

My regards,
sudhir
