Self-aware consciousness simply present
In the void of no-thingness
To impulse of desire and aversion sentient
Whilst breathing in blissfulness 
Remains entwined with oneness

Our choice to be thus, in a witness stance
Awareness held flicker free
Signals preference to hold steady vibrance
By the flow of life buoyed
Negated, since by mind toyed

Thus cessation pointless if but a mind game
Fruitful if love our intent
Holding true by resonation our heart’s aim
Acceptant and content
In fullness, bliss luminescent 

Memory borne thought forms do tend to intrude
Beliefs being delusion
Meditation then foiled by such patterns crude
As an ego suggestion
Dreamy imagination

Love’s the divine force, that propels us along
So let’s accept this-ness here now
Rekindling innocence, singing the love song
Resistanceless, each throb allow 
Asking not, what, where, when, how

Oh weary lama, the layers of mind are subtle
Hold back not, divine embrace
Heart our temple, soul shaped on the mantle
Know life’s not a puzzle to lace
Make easy pace, for all is grace
