Attraction and Aversion

Assigning labels, good or bad to thought,
misses the point about cause and effect,
arising in ether, as desires brought,
manifest here and now, what we detect,
each wave in its right, divinely perfect.
Likes or dislikes, to portions of our dream,
an anchorage to images that so stream,
stemming from ego association;
trying to seize a specific sunbeam,
our attachment thus cause of stagnation.
