Just One More Day

.
There will be no struggle.
Because it is meaningless.
Because I don't want to fight any more.
Let someone else's blood trickle, let it gurgle.
Let one's fingers whiten and let one's teeth clench!
I seek peace and harmony with this river bank, reed, meadow.
I'd like to be the same with that stone
in the middle of the river.
They say it was attracted here by a glacier.
I'm here and now on the hot porch,
lying on a couch.
Angels fly around me like butterflies.
I see them through half-closed eyelashes.
You might think I'm on LSD.
No, I haven't tried neither acid no mushrooms for long time.
This is meditation.
Before that there was hyperventilation of the lungs.
Felt almost fainted.
Someone seems to say - all the same - it's chemistry.
Bio-, but still chemistry.
And what does that prove?
I am calm.
Feeling utmost harmony.
Getting the same with the nearest lake.
Getting the same with the road to it.
Walk on it.
Is this Tao?
No.
Is this Zen?
No again!
It's just another day of my life.
