Connection in Disconnection
Sitting alone today, my thoughts I ponder;
Over here, then over there, my mind does wander.
Stillness is laughable, there is no chance;
My thoughts swirl, my mind begins to dance.
I get up from meditation in utter frustration;
As my mind rehearsed with my life's narration.
I stumble to my feet, my hips burning from sitting;
My balance is spinning, my brain is splitting.
Anger rises up unexpectedly, I was not prepared;
My emotions explode, unrest is now fully flared.
I rage internally, feeling that life is totally unfair;
The seeds of turmoil were sown while I am unaware.
I stand in the middle of the floor, full of emotion;
Where is that peace, it's swallowed in the ocean.
Suddenly, the unity of all flashes through my mind;
Of everything, the good, the bad, the ugly, the kind.
An idea lands in my soul to stretch out my legs;
Luring me away from the desire to drain several kegs.
I laced up my shoes, and began an easy run;
Before to long, I was again beginning to have fun.
Sweat was burning my eyes, I could taste the salt;
Finally feeling a release from the internal assault.
Peacefulness began to return to my mind and soul;
Connection in disconnection, peace now in control.
