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.

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.
