🕊️ Don’t let me conquer anyone Let me only conquer me No words to teach the world to change Only my own mind to see When I walk, let walking teach When I sit, let silence speak Let every moment turn to gold If I can learn from me Keep this presence close at hand A watchful eye that does not sleep This is the root of all I need Where wisdom blooms from deep If I forget, the light fades out No knowing will remain So hold me still and breathe me back Let mindfulness sustain Even if my time is short Still, I plant the seed A single breath of honest mind Can be the path I need No refuge greater than this gaze That gently turns within No place to go, no place to flee The end begins herein No need to look in someone else No need to guide their flame Just see what rises up in me And call it by its name This battle’s mine and mine alone No glory left to claim To master self is not to boast— It’s simply not to blame So let me walk with inward eyes And leave the world to be No chasing minds, no fixing time Just learning how to see The end of wandering, loud and long, Is quiet, still, and free I need not teach the world to change— Just learn to follow… me.
