A Quest For Enlightenment (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



A Quest For Enlightenment   (Bussokusekika)

So you’re a Buddhist
Have you found Nirvana yet
Have you quenched your thirst
Everyone walks their own path
Each Religion is just that
A quest for enlightenment

About this poem

It’s nice to know that you at least have some kind of faith and spiritual beliefs…Who knows what our futures may hold…Maybe Steve truly is the one meant for you…But that is ok…Oh well…I guess that I will continue on…On my quest to find my answers that still remain ever elusive to me…As U2 sings very well…”I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”…Or have I???I wrote a special poem for someone whom I believe may possibly be a very good helper for me…I call it “Thee Mirror”…Or at least I believe that is its title…I wrote it so long ago…And so many things have changed in my life…. I hope you have a wonderful day Dorothy Gale Alice…I hope mine will go well as well…☺️
