Zen mode

intermediate awakenings
offer heart delight
which is good
but then
ego hijacks
the understanding 
affirming interpretations 
viewed through mind
thereby distorting
the clear truth
and this is the trap
our presence falls into
so it is back to staid stillness 
where by so becoming 
we shine as the light
of pure awareness 
which we are
