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
