Sitting

Though we run
After our thoughts often

And, feel behind

Know that this
Is only
A manifestation

Of the mind

Running after itself
In a
Convoluted loop
Expressed as so

Since the beginning of time

Though, as we begin
To pay attention
And have
The

Realization

That this is so
We learn
To sit
And

Notice our thoughts

As they come and go

They are
An expression
Of memories from afar

Which we need not
Trod to bring to heel

Rather, sitting
And watching can
Bring the freedom,
And healing

Which is such a natural
Feeling

So, friend, do sit
And partake in all
The splendor your mind
Can conjure

And release the burden
Which are brought
Without
A second thought

The River

The river flows
Just as the wind blows
And the streams
In our veins grow

With life

A beautiful and tranquil
Existence
Of a long, and
Adored magnificence

Bending to the right
A mighty flight
Of fancy

Even prancy with delight

A memory of times
Gone by, yet
Filled with light

Luminous

And sparkling
As the sun shines
And the water dances
For the heavens, and is

Now beckoned

To the left
Never bereft
Only filled with
Sweet and blessed

Presence

Of Mind
Which is sublime
Each and every

Moment at a time

Breathe in deep, then
My friend, and
Take each
And every moment in

As their magnificence
Is a mirror
Of your very existence
