Softened Attention

Curiosity killed the cat, they say
but if we do not ask, we will not know.
Do we not, to the music, gently sway?
Let then our searching, be in stillness slow,
as open heart, scent of love does follow!
Awaken, oh hermit! Watch attention,
guiding it’s flow, in soft meditation,
wary of pitfalls, as ego urges,
threatening to block our bliss elation.
Be one with bliss within, as it surges!
