Piercing the inner core

Brings us back ashore

Where peace is natural

With awareness, it’s attainable

The mind’s good at losing

Awareness, making life confusing

While life shortens every moment

Desires increase their commitment

Time and desire join forces

They have common causes

Creating an unbridgable distance

At the mind’s insistence

Awareness is the needle

To unwanted thoughts, it is lethal

We bridge the distance to the core

When the mind’s emptied its store
