Dilemma of the Dalai Lama

holding within heart, omnipotent force
we can, if we choose, alter the dream
but if love and light be our sole resource
should we not allow desire forms to stream

as we witness all as but a flicker in time
where through laboured breathing souls climb
the will of God and ours now being one
behold motionless is space, steadfast the sun

and yet within our heart soul stirrings create
a ripple of love manifesting cause and effect
an innate impulse that chooses not to wait
lending a hand to those who are shipwrecked
