Meditation

Breathe in, then breathe out slow
Let all thought pass away
Dedicate some morning time
No better start to your day

Incorporate a prayer or two
Establish your connection
To higher source with peace in mind
Find self love and affection

Calmness will pervade your days
Alert, sure, more aware
Examine thought, know truth
Wisdom seek with empathy and care

Understand where feelings grow
Thoughts come and go with ease
Give power to those that do most good
Forget thoughts that displease

A small bit of your time for this
Stay on the path each day
Well worth each second, minute, hour
Life change in many ways

Keep it up and mind responds
Slowly find new space
Reach state of calm more easily
Lose fear, gain strength and grace

Not every day is perfect hence
You will still stress and strain
Find the things that bring you joy
More swiftly release the pain

Deeper states of warm calm peace
Even in the cold
Come and go like wind or rain
Profound so I am told

For years now I have done this thing
Not missed a single one
No mistaking change I see and feel
On this path I’ve just begun
