Dreams roll into dreams
Dream-waking and wake-dreaming
Everything seeming so real
Delighting in how our mind makes everything feel
Looking forward to our next meal
Rising high diving low too deluded to remain even keel
Frames pass through awareness but were moving too fast
Trying so hard to make the pleasure last
When it’s gone we move our glance to the past
Stuck in karma’s cast
Scared of the innate mind… so vast
Self-cherishing
Not awake to everything perishing
So fragile
The truth oh so agile
So close it is
That we miss it everyday
Whispering its silent speech to our ego’s dismay
This is all just the minds play
But we fall prey to our desires
That burn with the fires of suffering
Fixation closes our eyes to dissipation
Each moment fleeting
Our heart showing us with its beating
The breath even calling out
To the impermanence of life
Till the last then comes the scythe
Running from death at every turn
Watching thought churn
Too scared to let all certainty burn
Wisdom clouded by delusion the mirror too dirty to discern
Sentient beings running around in their confusion
Seeking everywhere knowledge to learn
Push the wise under the rug
But the heart will emit it’s oh so subtle little tug
Silence is gentle but we run around too much to ever know it
Bathing the mind in the softness in the smooth caress of emptiness
Dissolves all pain into its mysterious clarity
The only place that gives rise to charity
10,000 things and they are all the same
The only difference is the name
But were all too caught up in the game
Looking for someone to blame
The mind like a raging monkey so hard to tame
The world is so fragile, every moment were dying
All the “I’s” clutching to their debris crying
The only release is to just let go
Just watch it all flow
Kick back and watch the show
Its ok there is nothing to know
Turn off your mind and float down stream
Dream-waking and wake-dreaming
Everything seeming so real
Delighting in how our mind makes everything feel
Looking forward to our next meal
