Notes About The Poem

Softened Attention

Softened attention releases tension
Taking us to another dimension
Not too far away, for it lies within
Peace beyond measure, free from thought flow din
Where bliss and wisdom mark soul's intension

At this juncture, it's worthwhile to mention 
Silence holds secrets for soul's ascension
Make oh hermit, fickle heart free from sin
Softened attention

With ego cravings out of contention
We feel our auric field slowly strengthen 
All's enabled no sooner we begin
Fears and desires fade, to ego's chagrin
Our heart’s joyous, free from apprehension
Softened attention

Softened attention is a beautiful way of saying it... much prefer it over meditation. takes away the need to "do" anything... thank you for your abundant wisdom!
