the battlefield / gathering the scattered rays

the battlefield

Engaging the battering ram of attention
towards the fortress of pain and despair
until exhaustion is reached

Then offering least resistance
as the forces of evil are unleashed
to leap amok on the battlefield
known as mind

Collecting instead
renewed strength
to continue the siege
for the liberation of the soul 

 


gathering the scattered rays

Gathering the scattered rays
dispersed by aeons of inertia

Intensifying the beam
of unwavering attention
until it grows one-pointed

Piercingly capable
of penetrating the darkness
and reunite with its source
