May-August, 2024
Sword and shield,
attack and defense
One a fierce weapon,
the other a fence
Judge and be judged,
mind dark and dense
Ego hides the Truth
with fearful nonsense
Sword and shield,
attack and blame
In service of
the separation game
I’m right, you’re wrong,
they try to claim
A losing battle,
they are both the same
What would it be like
to lay them down?
Walk silently off
the battleground
Give up all judgment
of any kind
Reclaim my precious
Peace of Mind
No armies of hurtful
thoughts at war
End of competition,
keeping no score
Serenity replacing
a sense of dread
Into the stillness of Love
I am gratefully led
The warrior within
has at last retired
The ego war general
is summarily fired
As I retreat and reflect
on the seeming mire
I find that nothing at all
has ever transpired
All is now quiet,
mind now clear and calm
And all that remains
is an eternal Song
