Farewell, Happiness

Happiness is bound to sadness
and both confirm the self
that plays the game of life.

Happiness is reaction,
a judgment from without.
Even the deepest suffering
can be the object of happiness.

Beyond happiness lies understanding
an end to the dualism of judgment,
and the acceptance of truth for itself.

Not for anything
will this nirvana be given up
to be happy ever again.

  1. Haiku For you

    The flowers whirl away
    in the wind like snow.
    The thing that falls away is myself.
