NIRVANA
All is abolished but the
mute Alone.
The mind from thought
released; the heart from grief
Grow inexistent now
beyond belief;
There is no I, no Nature, known-unknown.
The city, a shadow
picture without tone,
Floats, quivers unreal;
forms without relief
Flow, a, cinema’s vacant
shapes; like a reef
Foundering in shoreless gulfs the world is done.
Only
the illimitable Permanent.
Is
here.
A Peace stupendous, featureless, still
Replaces all,–what once
was I, in It
A
silent
unnamed emptiness content
Either to fade in the
Unknowable
Or thrill with the
luminous seas of the Infinite.
