The momentum is strong
Unconsciously, we go along
We encounter many swirls
When can we dive for pearls?
The current is powerful and swift
It threatens to leave us adrift
If we question the momentum
By asking the mind to be gentle
The seed of awareness is fragile
When it flowers, we’re agile
The momentum can’t carry away
Those conscious, it is just a play
The momentum leaves the past
To the future, it hurtles fast
We need not join the caravan
It won’t take us where it all began
