Zen mode

acknowledging dreams
wherein we are limited
feeling trapped, in anguish
even though the dream ends
when we wake up from sleep
the fact is for those moments 
as both subject and object
as dreamer and the dreamed
our past tendencies precipitated
the images we lived through
dying of a thousand cuts
signals we wish to suffer
for there is no one else to blame

extrapolating thus
we recognise 
that save in silence
we cannot be free
of cravings of our ego

both angels and demons 
are thought constructs
in truth there is no-thing
save love and light of Self

with no-thing to seek
and nothing to do
we are at peace
in singularity 

though we know this
attention yet oscillates 
this is our dilemma 

why not then
celebrate delusion
and thus become free
