The Three Marks of Existence - Senses Fail

How does the rose open its heart and give the world its beauty?

It bathes in the light, the love of the sun encouraging its blooming

You be the ground where nothing is sown and plant the seeds of love to grow

Cultivate the change you seek

Love is not a song sung by the weak

When in the trap of doubt, remember it’s a cloud

This to shall pass and fade, impermanence to pain

What is the body but a shadow of a shadow of our love

In which the whole universe resides

There is only wind in that well

And there have always been keys in the cell

It takes compassion to confront your pain

It takes strength to be vulnerable enough to float on the rivers of shame

Be ground, be crumbled

You’ve been stoney for too long

Like wild flowers grow where you are

Let your heart burst, let it explode

Like wild flowers grow where you are

Let your heart burst, let it explode

Like wild flowers grow where you are

Let your heart burst, let it explode
