Thought of the Day

a thought arises
so strange
it should not be here
but yet it is

examine: how is it different
from any other object
we happen to see
like a bird for example 

let us cut to the chase
is it not ownership assigned
by deluded heart and mind
that causes needless suffering

identity that seeks
shrouded in ignorance 
is it not but dust
immersed in this lucid dream
