The Bastion Crumbles

As we be steered inexorably 
towards reality of our being
the illusions we held on to
slowly begin disintegrating

Even though we do recognise
all manifestation as ephemeral 
old habits rooted in stagnation 
causes contraction agitational 

Attachments begetting clinging
hoping to dwell longer in illusion
a tale of suffering self inflicted
resolved in stillness of meditation 

Even as the pendulum swings
flow of our attention rudderless
we may centre our presence
tranquil in vibrant blissfulness 

All we do is to remain in surrender
moment by moment in the flow
letting go of each life offering
in humble silence & stillness slow
