NO HAPPINESS OUTSIDE THE GATES

 

Foolish mind

Why do you gorge on the rotting carcass of "I" and "mine?"

 

Pretending to be the operator of this theater

    you create bizarre self centered noises

        interrupting Mother's pure hearted hum of life

 

Your boisterous self assertions

    are clumsy

        disturbing the delicate rhythms of Her divine dance

 

When will you see the folly of your vain imaginings

    and fall to your knees weeping with remorse

 

Stop this open-eyed dreaming

    attempting to drag eternity through your desolate land

    of empty shadows

 

End forever this bloated feast of foul and putrid mind cravings

    abandoning these pet objects that whirl about you

    like refuse in a cyclone

 

There is no permanent happiness that lies outside

    the gates of these senses

 

Take refuge at Mother's feet and travel to the Center

    where she waits to hold you once again
