Zen mode

before exhaling, cause of intent held
focus peaked, attention animated
before it can act, ego cravings belled
no agenda remains to be stated
the tree of delusion is this way felled
as bliss beats rise and heart is elated
being the do-nothing practice employed
revealing lustre of Self unalloyed
