SONG OF NO MIND
How can you trust your mind
When it flies like a butterfly
Chasing any delight
That will bind you and beguile
It will tangle you
Grab and dangle you
Bring you face to face
To your cunning ways
You will have no peace
Never be at ease
And you'll pray for rest
Or for sleep at best
Till you set yourself free
Happy
In the state of no mind
And let yourself be
Carefree
In the state of no mind.
