I wrote this poem a while ago sitting a moment after meditating one morning. Enjoy!
Come, sit awhile
Close your eyes
Take a deep breathe and listen
What do you hear?
What do you feel inside?
What do you smell?
What does the cushion or chair you sit on feel like?
Exhale.
Did you notice just then?
Your heartbeat?
How it thumps in your chest?
Or the chair you sit in
how soft or hard it is?
Try taking it all in
The sensation of being present
Did you hear the clock ticking on the wall?
Or the tingling feeling in your fingertips?
The temperature in the room
Cool or warm?
The thoughts that wander in and out of your head
About your bills, your expenses, your worries, your fears
Let them go.
Focus on here and now
What can you do about those things?
Solutions- that’s it!
Keep your mind on solutions
Only in the moments of sitting still
One can truly know where to go from here
