Desert Flowers

 

Looking for the flowers

Out in the desert
But couldn’t find…

Cannot walk alone
I am stranded…

Asking from the peoples
That walks nearby…

Hey! peoples Where the
Flowers grow?
They smile…
No answer
No where to find
The supreme flowers
That I need

Silent…

I ask my self
Where I can find the flowers
Hiding from my self…

Someone whispering
In to my ears…
‘That’s out in deep desert
It’s beautiful and colourful’

Looking every where
No one nearby

I am alone…

I don’t have the strength
Couldn’t walk alone
And find the flower I need

I heard desert is sizzling
Desert is vast…
If lost no one can return

any way…

I am going to leave loved ones behind
And kingdom that I loved
I will not strand again

I am going
To deep desert that’s vast
That’s sizzling…

I knew that
Nothings is lost in universe
Everything changing…
I am a lay person
Looking
For the Flowers are out in the desert

So peoples

I have to go
hence…
Flowers are remind me always
How quickly things are change

I am going

Until I find
The flower of supreme lotus
The Lotus of the ultimate happiness
The end of all suffering
The Nirvana!
