Tail Wagging Dog

Any consciousness contracting thought
Is ego begot
Having its roots in fear & desire
In the domain of transience being the ego’s lair

Our mind is in a fog
Because we allow the tail to wag the dog
Relegating the role of mind-body to an instrument 
We rest in bubbling bliss in quiet contentment 

Bliss being the true nature of our consciousness 
Whilst indulgence in ephemerality ego narrowness 
Yet being granted free will
We may choose to be either agitated or in joy still
The optimal choice of attention resonation
Is always the divine love vibration 

Exiting the habit of holding on to
If instead we resistancelessly our heart pulse renew
Our childlike presence flowing in the here & now continuum 
We are joyous & blissful devoid of egoic residuum 

Simply know that God is bliss
Expansive with nothing amiss
If we be in contraction
Recognise it as ego precipitation
