I cross my legs and close my eyes searching for the peaceful stillness of my mind
I'm searching for enlightenment, and its a long lonely journey

All of a sudden I see a bring flash of light
I open my eyes, and to my surprise, day has turned to night
I am covered from head to toe with the dying blossoms
I glance at the back of my hand and see withered old skin that has cracks like over dry clay

My mind is blank, and my body is numb
I cannot hear, I cannot feel, my senses are none

I stand up and the blade of my sword is rusted
I take a look around, up and down, and find that I'm all alone
As I stroke my chin I find that I've grown a beard
I look at my fingers, and find that they've strands of white hair connected to them

As I stare into the emptiness of my surroundings
I am humbled by a great sense of joy and well being

For you see I spent my life searching for the perfect blossom
And when I found what i was seeking, I found enlightenment...
