Calmness

In calmness, we can lay our trust

A shelter in the midst of a gust

From the world that makes us weary

When its goods we can no more carry


Calmness makes us simple

And the mind very nimble

It welcomes the wind of wisdom

To come and destroy its fiefdom


The calm carry nothing

Calmness becomes their clothing

Inspiring wanderers to become studious

And adept, without the mind as a nucleus

Calmness carries great depth

Its where life’s treasures are kept

We can’t bring along the world we wish to marry

In that company, calmness is temporary
