Awareness is the lamp; my mind rests clear,

A fortress without walls, yet nothing to fear.

Though darkness rises, confusion around,

In spacious openness, peace is found.

Obstacles come, aggression surrounds,

But in clarity’s gaze, illusion breaks down.

Armies of doubt may fiercely appear,

Yet my mind remains steady, fearless and clear.

One genuine wish, authentic and plain:

To dwell in awareness, beyond loss or gain.

Seeing reality, bright and bare,

Blessings are natural, simply there.

Brilliant wakefulness, inherent shine,

Guides my steps gently, with wisdom aligned.

Truth speaks directly, free and precise,

Resting in presence, beyond hope or strife.

Every moment I meet sacredness anew,

Ordinary magic, fresh like dew.

Life offers its feast, vivid and raw,

Anointed by presence, without a flaw.

Primordial wisdom, groundless ground,

Limitless freedom, eternally sound.

Songs spontaneously arise and flow,

Celebrating this life, wherever I go.
