Zen Mode

silence engages stillness 
entwining matter and void
wherein herein immanent
our presence transcendent 
cooperates with flow of time
to feel each earth life pulse
acceptant and receptive
being our choiceless choice
to create no unwanted ripple 
in the play already impulsed 
whilst yet infusing vibrancy 
in childlike innocence playful 
that the omnipresent witness 
pauses a moment to smile
beholding the lotus bud bloom
