Vaporised Self

pristine awareness
a vaporised bliss mist
offers desire no niche
onto which it may anchor
thereby becoming still
in the void of no-thingness 

the distillation process
yet continues relentlessly 
lest later soul complain
that earth life had faltered
in strewing rose petals
without accompanying thorns

neither seeking nor negating
the true living essence of us
celebrates both highs and lows
with a joyful, twinkling eye
whereupon the learning is done
within this dualistic earth realm
