Welcome to My Poetry Site
In the Moment
Experience the moment.
Breathe it in.
Watch it. Observe it.
Ignore the din
In your surroundings--
The chatter, the clatter.
Just this moment
Is all that should matter.
Let the moment
Fill you completely.
Notice how subtly
And how discreetly
Your body responds
As calm imbues you.
Breathe in and out;
Let it suffuse you.
Thoughts will come
And thoughts will go;
Just don't hold them;
Go with the flow.
Ideas pass by
Like images on a screen.
Watch them proceed.
Don't intervene.
If the sensation
Of being bathed in light
Pervades your being,
That's quite all right.
Past, present,
And future exist
All in this moment;
Life is a mist,
A cloud, a dream,
A river that flows,
A flash, the morning
Dew on a rose.
Observe how everything's
Interrelated;
Are you meditating
Or being meditated?

Breathe it in.
Watch it. Observe it.
Ignore the din
In your surroundings--
The chatter, the clatter.
Just this moment
Is all that should matter.
Let the moment
Fill you completely.
Notice how subtly
And how discreetly
Your body responds
As calm imbues you.
Breathe in and out;
Let it suffuse you.
Thoughts will come
And thoughts will go;
Just don't hold them;
Go with the flow.
Ideas pass by
Like images on a screen.
Watch them proceed.
Don't intervene.
If the sensation
Of being bathed in light
Pervades your being,
That's quite all right.
Past, present,
And future exist
All in this moment;
Life is a mist,
A cloud, a dream,
A river that flows,
A flash, the morning
Dew on a rose.
Observe how everything's
Interrelated;
Are you meditating
Or being meditated?
