One day I awoke,
to the sounds of waves splashing,
caressing my sleepy head.
Within a landscape of tranquility,
permeated by the soft ebb and flow of thought,
a destination I adventured across the world for.
An experience I searched through monasteries and ancient literature for.
A feeling I had meditated and prayed into living.
A state I had attempted to think into existence.
A beingness I couldn't stop trying to achieve.
Yet here it was,
in its empty nothingness.
For when desire departed,
the calm arrived.
And I knew the quest was over.
