Is It Life Or Death?
Nirvana and epiphany
appear quite different to me
like life or equanimity.
If you have an unbiased view
life is unimportant to you
and the other sees life anew.
When the ego is put away
new perspectives come into play
but all purpose has gone astray.
This may seem beneficent so far
but it makes you wonder who you are;
a prophet or a Lochinvar.
Some people may feel they’re reborn
when halos are casually worn.
