Aimless as the restless wind

When the melodrama of the mind stops
There’s an end to turmoil.

What difference is there between yes and no
Good and bad, success and failure?

Why value what others value?
Why fear what others fear?
How foolish!

People are excited
As though at a picnic or parade
While I am alone
I do not care
I am expressionless like an infant
Before it learns to smile.

People possess all kinds of things
While I possess nothing.
I am alone like a man with no home
Like an idiot with a vacant mind.

Others see things clearly
While I am in the dark.
Others are sharp and clever
While I am a fool.
Others attach meaningto their lives
While I have none.

I drift like a wave on the ocean
Aimless as the restless wind.
I have no desire but the absence of desire
I am sustained and nourished
By the breasts of the Great Mother.
