Mantapa
Restless mind ....... stop, get still Let me feel my heart, and my self You are a great instrument You help me reason and survive You help me create and connect Will you stop now ? I have had enough I want to live for a while The touch of warm cloth, pleasant sun The sounds of children playing, birds behind The silence around, and the flowering of a big feeling of happiness I wont be able feel to any of these, if i am enslaved by you Restless mind ....... stop, get still Let me feel my heart, and my self You are quick as a quiver Cutting across any tiny feeling Quite deep feelings are sensitive Do not rush which such precision and speed I want to feel quite for a while The beauty of of the dark night, The comfort of your beloved who sits next to you No talks, no plans, no thoughts Sitting inside your own Mantapa* Restless mind ....... stop, get still Let me feel my heart, and my self Translated - La na Ra *Vestibule of a temple
