A POEM FOR OSHO – HEARTBEATS
Deep exhaustion fills me . . .
Not like something I have known before
It is not of the body . . . nor of the emotions
It is like something I have been carrying for lifetimes . . .
This seeking . . . of something other than what is
I cannot go on any longer
I am so tired
I give up
Whatever is . . . is
Whatever I am . . . I am
If the mind wants to think . . . that’s ok
If the eyes want to cry . . . that’s ok
If the body wants to rest . . . that’s ok
Whatever is . . . is totally ok with me
I want nothing more than this . . .
To live life . . . each moment . . . whatever it brings
To just be myself . . .
No more looking for more . . .
whether its enlightenment . . . nirvana . . . bliss . . . freedom
I want nothing
Just to breathe
and not play this game anymore
I am just too tired to go on . . .
Even if a wise man . . . were to come and say . . .
but just listen to me . . . with these words you will be enlightened
I would close my ears . . . and say “thank you” . . . “I love you”
but please . . . no more words!
Ma Prem Patipada
