Not with much thought, brought about by the mind
Do we sweet freedom ultimately find.
Only with heart can minds' link be broken,
And a start made on doors which can open
To golden new life, where ecstasy's felt
In the NOW, in the moment, which once dwelt
Within hearts by right, now lost to our sight,
And though neglected, mis-used and blighted
Is still part of our permanent beauty.
It's attained in piercing the soul at root
By Awareness, an ease with the self, starting
With goals which unroll the present stark
Moment....... Awareness, not future or past,
But of NOW, offers true freedom at last.
