Stillness

[Unseeking Seeker]

Stillness: Observer mode

Observer-observing-observed from backstage
Observed, being the uninhibited actor on stage
Both us, observer dynamically still
Observed, being watched, now without self-will
Being entwined with the observer, thoughts in tandem
So acting in unison, actions no longer random
Effectively a slow down to stillness
Ego temporarily motionless

So far, so good, all seems tranquil owing to the observer-anchor
But what happens when the observer sleeps, in deep stupor?
It happens when our still-attention wavers
The ground beneath our soul then quavers!
The reflex responses of the observed again manifest
The Phoenix rises from the ashes, who we cannot resist
For we are at any moment only as high or low as that
Where our attention chooses to be at
