Song of No-Self
It's the song of no-self I’m here to sing
Of boundless sky where silence rings
An anthem of inquiry offered to all
Undoing the hubris of self's siren call
It's the dance of leaves on a windy breeze
With no one to dance, no insights to seize
It murmurs up high in a mountain stream
Giving us dreamers nothing to dream
It's the mist of the clouds on an open sea
A shadowless shimmer no eye can see
It burns in the flame of the sun’s last sigh
As no one is born, so no one can die
It’s the pulse of grass as it gently breathes
Through eddies that form, then quietly cease
It glints in the gaze of eight billion stars
Unknown to the minds of their avatars
It's the song of no-self I’m here to sing
Of boundless sky where silence rings
An anthem of inquiry calling us all
Melting the seeker and toppling the wall
Where no separate one will ever remain
All answers dissolve in the same refrain:
What we've always sought is already here
Closer than close and nearer than near
