Peace of Mind
Panic
and the mind dies
or
Under static pressure
resist the urge
to crack
Pressed beyond kinetic stress
refuse to diffuse back
to nothingness
To be is to desire to be?
No.
To be is to be.
I desire to be
electrified,
alive and wired,
Lightning mind!
Still,
Rebirth
relies on stillness.
I rely on pure potential energy
Reality flips the switch
And truth tears through
nerves like arteries,
only: Wisdom
rushes in like oxygen
Trust enlivened mind
for the love of Guru
Hear her hum? The words
like blood
The thrumming heart
and pumping lungs
the cry that builds
from stillness
and only this
Full-blown mind
bursts forth
A hero sworn,
not by battle horn
to be,
but to be,
nonetheless
To be
is not the choice
The choice is peace
