Arise and Pass Away

Let thoughts arise and pass away

Without engaging in them in any way

Let emotions come and go

Not making them into a big show

There amidst all the haze and pains

Is a stillness that remains.

Be still now and you will find

There is a depth, far beyond 

You will never need to hide

When your heart blooms open-wide

Rest in the peace that you will find

When you are still, and there is no mind.
