Resting the mind is not easy
it dances like a sparrow
and speaks like a babbler
seeking the minutest grain
from the jungle of weeds
tweeting what it has to say
from one perch to the other
in all weather.

Then the aching wings falling slow
by the cold north wind
find no worth in the haste
seek a rest
perching upon some heart.

When unbroken silence is all it has
the mind rests easy in peace.

I walked alongside destiny
To provoke the very best in me.
As in a moments bless’d plea,
I have found the rest of me.

Like a bird leaves the nest to see,
I finally let the lesson be.
No longer do I guess to see,
I’ll forever be in company.

I piece it all collectively,
In search of what’s arresting me.
What is it that’s contesting me?
The answer is simply destiny.

Walking on this path is easy |
Let go....Let go....Let go....
Walking on this path is smooth |
Go Slow Go Slow Go Slow.....

Beauty gladdens the eye
but doesn't bring in the bread
it might be praised sky-high
yet it's food that runs ahead-

time does inexorably go by
wrinkles on beauty's face they shed
if all land and sea were to run dry
we would all starve and soon be dead.
