Zen mode

empathy a bondage
since it impacts our heart 
whilst compassion enjoys freedom
akin to the fragrance of a flower
radiating love’s effervescence 
nonchalant to outcomes 

attachment is the fetter
the cause being ignorance 
wherein we pursue ego cravings
oblivious to reality of Self
mirroring light of God
in heart aflame
