face of stillness

You can sit cross-legged,
keep the spine straight and meditate.
You can perform ablutions several times a day,
open the books and recite the prayers or chant or
count the rosary.
But if the heart is not cracked open,
if the bird in the cage is not allowed to fly free
If the mind is not empty,
How can you feel the sun rising in your chest?
How can you touch the face of stillness?
