I’ve bought my ticket,

I’m going 1^st Class!

Setting out on this quest,

on this lives long path.

 

My past is a story,

an interesting read,

but I’m leaving my baggage,

of which I don’t need.

 

I look through the window,

recognise all I see,

the Buddha land scenery,

familiar to me.

 

The weather is clement,

worldly winds have calmed,

the passengers valiant,

Dharma Sister’s at alms.

 

I’m enjoying the journey,

no rush to get there;

with guide book in hand,

and the wind in my hair!

 

We stop at the station,

other travellers alight,

we’re sharing this vision,

Enlightenment in sight.
