what remains?






for a time
the mind lives
but it is not eternal 
and will perish sooner or later 
so what remains?
the body has been turned to ash
the thoughts, the dreams as well
put out into the sea 
where all is taken and lost 
to the vast ocean of all
what remains?
the world that you think is real
the people that revolve around it
the things, the places, the experiences
are to blow like dust in the wind
what remains?
the excitement, the sorrow, the highs
the lows, the in betweens 
the grasping, the efforts
the *me* world and all that comes
with that
is to be going
what remains?
the birth, the death
the unstable mind
the body suffering and all
that comes with that
is to be going
what remains?
the thought of freedom and bondage
the thought of *me and you*
the hoping, the struggle
the gathering of knowledge
the separation
is to be going
what remains?



what will the world become
when the mind lets go?
see 
find out 
what will your life become 
when the mind lets go?
see 
find out
what will your being become
when the mind lets go?
see 
find out
what will heaven and earth
become when the mind lets go?
see
find out
what will God become
when the mind lets go?
see
find out
what will love and fear become
when the mind lets go?
see
find out
what will *you and me* become
when the mind lets go?
see
find out

what remains
when the mind lets go?
