THE PATH iII THE CLIMB TO PEACE



	MILESTONE LIBERATION All pain is gone Freedom Glasses of tea Sit in front of me Travelers in caverns With lights Dialogues All pain is gone Freedom. I'm finally free Nothing disturbs my peace Anymore Except the handpicked Enemies of wisdom Dreams of flight Colors, airplanes Hands and feet, seen clearly In dreams The magic of life is alive





	Once upon a time I was a traveler Now I am not that Then an artist, a poet, A saint, a smoker. Now I am not that Tea cups and cooking sounds I am free at last From all the rounds From hell and heaven From spiritual gains From eccentricities And dull heartache pains I am free of myth And opinions surround Walking down Sound Once upon a time I was a traveler, a writer, An artist, a poet Now not even nothing am I And nothing at a time was Something big. Ordinary man soaring in Flights of magical dreams Sometimes I wonder So free and clear Can I say something About the world No words come Frying pan hanging Upside down Zen style Remember The taste of monastery tea Pure practice is calling me Beyond have I gone And desire no more The conventional world I leave behind That door The true self beckons me And with delight I run I run sailing and flying Into the sun My hands now wings Feathers on fire Fire in the sky Couldn't get higher The taste of monastery tea Beckons me Sitting through night and day The pleasures Of wine, food and party Hold no more sway Free and clear In the world I live Every pain and delusion Drops through the sieve Days spent in silent wonder Embraced all around By myself Nothing to know anymore All art seems like confusion All actions stillness Know this , That the path spirals And practice stopped Is a fall into the ordinary world Of suffering Practice on And move on further There is no stopping now All delusions and pain Only spots on my long maine Before they become any bigger Fly on Jetsun To the world nether Fly on Jetsun To the world nether Once upon a time I was a businessman and friend Now there is no knowing Who I am. I know that the pain is gone The path is clear My dear my dear I'm here I don't know no more The travelers sit by the door The pain is gone, The path is open Once upon a time I was I Now all that remains Is a seeing eye And bright shining joy The pain is gone The path is open
