There is room

What distresses you
my friend?

Isn't it mostly
what your mind says
should not be?

The mind says
it should not be
and yet it is

There is room
you know
there is room
in the heart
for what the mind
won't allow

There is room
in the heart
for what the mind
can't understand

There is room
in the heart
for every
contradiction
and conflict
for every pair
of opposites
to co-exist

No no
shouts mind again
it is wrong
and I won't allow it

There is room
in the heart
for all of
shouting mind

There is room
in the heart
for reality
as it is

Recognize
your open heart
my friend
and receive life here
Receive life
in this home of love
and know your heart
as the birthplace
of everything

And it's amazing how big that room is. Upon the discovery of it(even a small glimpse among the noise of mind) is the greatest wonder and the biggest relief. *smile*
