Rote
Memory records
All sorts of stuff
Some beyond recall
A watcher sees
All happenings
Stores all in secret
Not one thing is lost
Even those hidden acts
Unremembered nuances
This brilliant library
Buried deep within
Stores all transactions
Such profound secrets
Shame, guilt and regrets
All kept in lost archives
This fabric of consciousness
Vivid living experiences
Woven into timeless memory
Rote remembers mundane
But that is just a minor bit
All else is memory unforgettable
To overcome life
Go beyond rote memory
Immerse in formlessness
