Zen Mode

thoughts relate to
mind-body vessel
it is then quite natural 
for thoughts to arise
so we look at them 
instantly discerning
and so distinguishing
between the impulses
pertaining to our soul
versus ego cravings

as flow of life renews
constant mindfulness 
holds steady awareness
that whatever may be
presence is always free
whether we indulge awhile
or whether we negate 
illusions in mind manifest
