let's go on this way

oh friend
i cannot call myself anything at all
you know
i do not go around thinking
i am a nun
i am a god person
i am celibate
i am a monk
i am a sannyasi
i honestly have thought these thoughts
so little if at all
for there is only one thing to know
is the mind active or is it quiet?
now what can you place on that
that gives a symbol of identity?
nothing
all that matters is the end point
that is the beginning of life
ok so let's go on this way
in this simplicity
like this

let's go on to walk with a simple
measurement of what is central to spirit
the rest is clutter making like pieces
thrown about
silence is to come with ending the patterns
that circle like whirlpools
without end
up and down ways
back and forth ways
what we want and what is best is forward ways
towards light simplicity peace
balance
moving that way
progress is made
