Awareness when chequered

Makes us sleep during effort

The price for this error

Breaking the inner mirror

When the reflection’s lost

It comes at a cost

Time’s thrown to the wind

Pleading happiness to rebuild

Awareness is beyond measure

It helps us weather

Efforts to still the mirror

Giving the ego a cold shiver

The ego doesn’t have a reflection

It’s a make believe projection

When the mirror is finally stilled

What is seen will keep us fulfilled
