NIRVANA

by Dr. Rick McGrath,Ph.D.
(Modesto, CA)

No longer transgressions of life
The soul released from thought,
Inexistent now desires sought.
The heart freed from its grief.
All pain and trouble given relief.
No more I, no more Nature known,
The world but a shadow without tone.
Ended are all of man’s mindless strife.

Only the illumination of the Permanent.
A Peace monumental, perfect and still.
Once what was I, replaced by Infinite will,
Silence unnamed filled with content.
Consumed the spirit, within the All and It,
Luminous seas of love of the Infinite.
