The mirror of consciousness



Seeing the sadness, the happiness go in seclusion
In the throes of life, in a cowardly manner, escape towards the back.

Who understands who’s pain, everything is in vain
However, encouraged by the moment, walk towards the facade.

Time-obsessed activities, put in the heart’s confinement
Chest torn in the convergence of consciousness, how to summon someone.

Who knows why the intention is not fulfilled, alas in this world
Whoever remains at very near, just goes away, goes away.

It is like surrendering to the life without any utterance
Deep in the heart surrounded by illusion, upholding the mirror of consciousness.
