Spontaneous Birthings
Sunday, July 23, 2006
a calm that carries me
Thoughts unclench and reveal open palms,
The body rearranges and shifts to disarm
Stiffness in hypocrisy, Emptiness in self-conceit,
And instead is charged from the energy of humility,
The harmony in unity, the beauty in simplicity --
Its the calm that carries me
Free from borders the "I" slips from duress,
Hums to the tunes of life's daily tests
And instead of giving in to the ugly face of stress,
I float on the blessings I've gathered from a day spent
The alleys are dark in the shadow of the soul
Where pity and indifference desperately flow
Creeping in the mind, trying to gain control
But the heart is constant and fears not the load
Words slow down, thoughts are a-stuttering
Awareness matures, flawless in its delivery
I breathe in and out --
Focus on serenity, focus on tranquility,
And with gratitude sigh
for this love complete.
