His Bipolar Swinging

His bipolar swinging
of reason and emotion in this life
is just like a compression

of my ‘bipolar’ swinging
of reason and emotion
from life to life.

Enough to sicken him,
to want to end the cycle,
to want to awaken.

I too, should feel likewise,
before I swing again in another life.
Let us swing off to Pure Land, that realm of equanimity with no swinging.
