Zen Mode

diminished by disease
dilutes not bliss beats
renewing effervescence 
within our mind-body urn

it is a paradox of sorts
the aspect transcendent 
immune from the external
is within always immanent 

recognising this, we smile
ego feels we are mocking
since that’s the way it thinks
while we go on celebrating
