Uphill Into Nirvana

hiking uphill into nirvana  
 
Upon the hill i sit  
Small town down below  
It looks in the quiet still  
The mundane life so slow  
 
Today i made a hike  
The dawn so much mellow  
Before even the sun rose,  
Shone a sparkling dew  
 
Thru' the pines i glide  
A silence of times ago  
It seemed in the thicket  
been caught in fairy show  
 
The path i like to tread  
Is which the herds follow  
A feeling deeply inbred  
The shepherds are to know  
 
But, still i take the lead  
To the place i shall go  
It is where i can just read  
Graze my thought to grow  
 
Mountain is wise and old  
A temple of mystic truth  
Every spot is but sacred  
A sign of heaven's proof  
 
A silent spell to be in awe  
Feel such weak human can be  
Between worlds high and low  
like fading dots in eternity  
 
But this feeling won't leave  
Without man's wiser entity  
Without whom nothing else  
Would be only void vanity
 
 
plz, listen
