heart first

we put the heart first always

it is the guiding force that glows 

as a bright joy

it is the most auspicious way of living 

and is not to be forgotten 

for to forget the heart 

is the mistake that brings with it 

unrest and false seeing 

it is like a ray of light that one runs after 

never to be caught 

so the mind is not the thing to be 

in front 

but placed in back 

and allowed to die away

if given no attention 

it will begin to loosen 

and be less intrusive 

and this difference will be 

noticed easily 

and then one continues 

until the thoughts rise no more 

to intrude 

on this note one is to be still

and still 

and still

nothing more than this 

will cut the knots
