Nirvana

In her poem "Stripping life of it's sweetness"

my friend, Margaret Alice Second writes,  

" I keep searching for deeper meanings"
 as she refuses
 to believe life is only

about surviving the boredom

of daily rituals

‘Suppress and control’

‘divide and conquer’
‘relax and allow’ are
not foreign words
to either of us

We fully understand
life is about suffering
caused by craving and

aversion,  nevertheless

we believe suffering can

be overcome, therefore

it is possible to reach a

state of happiness and

contentment

The only antidote is salvation of self

facing life as it is, not resisting the

flow of daily living; 
learning from

personal experience

Then, through practice, 

attain a higher level of existence

and finally reach

our Nirvana
