Deep exhaustion fills me . . .
Not like something I have known before
It is not of the body . . .  nor of the emotions 
It is like something I have been carrying for lifetimes . . .
This seeking . . .  of something other than what is

I cannot go on any longer
I am so tired

I give up
Whatever is . . .  is
Whatever I am . . .  I am
If the mind wants to think . . .  that's ok
If the eyes want to cry . . .  that's ok
If the body wants to rest . . .  that's ok

Whatever is . . .  is totally ok with me
I want nothing more than this . . .

To live life . . .  each moment . . . whatever it brings
To just be myself . . .  
No more looking for more . . .
whether its enlightenment . . .  nirvana . . .  bliss . . .  freedom 

I want nothing
Just to breathe
and not play this game anymore

I am just too tired to go on . . .

Even if a wise man . . .  were to come and say . . .
but just listen to me . . .  with these words you will be enlightened
I would close my ears . . .  and say "thank you" . . .  "I love you"
but please . . .  no more words!
