Cluttered thoughts, confusion;
separates the known,
creates a wall of burdens
between flesh and throne.
Fills the space where know-er is
with chaos of the mind,
unable to communicate;
leaves known alone and blind.
As the mind becomes cathartic,
without tranquil grace;
it develops a cycle,
never ending chase.
Unaware and sleeping,
it looks for joy in vain;
it searches for fulfillment
for emptiness and pain.
For the mind that wonders
cannot see,
their thoughts will lead
to misery.
Only in stillness of mind
is the light,
where know-er and known;
align, unite.
