vibrant emptiness

what will it be dear, our mind or the heart
heart’s the seat of soul and mind the ego
with which instrument do we wish to start
out of these two, one we’ll need to let go 

no doubt analytical mind’s useful
it helps us to navigate this terrain
yet love in the heart makes life beautiful 
to have the best of both worlds, let’s retrain

conscience the referee, head-heart agree
treading gently on earth, bubbling with mirth
dropping desire, setting consciousness free
choice of cessation signals our rebirth

as formless presence dwelling in this form ~
knowing life’s a dream, we weather each storm
