Rowing rowing all I have been doing
Knowing not where to move or go
Hands pain, shoulders ache mind gone
Mirages, visions, reflections all I see
Never knowing I am in ocean middle
Rowing in circles rowing long hours
Tired I sleep yet the hands row
Swollen intestines parched lips
Hunger and thirst break me within
Horizons seen everyday is a mirage
Terra firma deludes me every moment
Ocean all around yet it creates fear
I know death is near for it was always
None gets out alive from the ocean
Pain and suffering is my quest for life
Ocean of death and life lives on me
More I pain more I suffer it grows big
Larger waves surround me everywhere
Drowning or dying all mean the same
Waking up only will shatter the veil
Ocean of pain will vanish leaving peace
Piece or peace is all game of mind
Win the soul to silence the mind
~Maitreya
