Freed from incarceration

Free me
Free me
From this
Incarceration.

Millions of defilements
Invade my inner sense
Remorselessly.
I fret
I fret
I fret
On my commitments.

While I concentrate my mind
On the foot of this
Sacred Bo-Tree of Wisdom
All the incessant
Infra -red mental distortions
Are getting disentangled like
A dead flower
Plopped into a
Water hole.
