with zen calm
he awaits,
the next chess move of whimsical time
li’l does ‘time’ know,
he’s way beyond it.
legacy etched in stone,
this warrior of awareness
marches to his impending destination
steeped in silence.
as his life flashes
in that rear view mirror,
his beatific smile says it all.
i’ve attained nirvana!
