Focused Meditation
To Calm the Mind and Body
Deep Breaths
To Cleanse the Body and Mind
As I Stare
Into a brightly, glowing Candle
But -
The Candle is ImBalanced
One side Higher than the other
One side lower than the Other
Which -
A matter of Life Perspective
Higher than
lower than
Creating ImBalance
Exterior Safety concerns
And a Need for the ReTurn to
The Quest for Calm
Cause me to Reach out
For the Glass Goblet
Half-filled with Water in front of me
To lean the Candle against it
To gain a precarious Equilibrium
Effect -
Optical Illusions
I count them
Twenty Dancing
Reflective Flames
Rising
Out of the Water
Within the Glass
Cause and Effect -
Curious
I Reach out
And Strike the Brass Bell beside me
Sound Ripples
Through the Glass
And into the Water
The Reflected Flames
Dance
Wiggle and Wobble
With Vibration and Light
Energies within Energies
Much like our own Lives
One Person’s Light
One Person’s Resonating
Sacred or Profane
Voice - Sound
Moving
Pushing and Pulling
Upon Others
Into Others
Through Others
Creating
New Light Patterns
New Fluid Sounds
New Directions and Reflections
Blending and Separating
Into each Other
Apart from each Other
I have forgotten to Breathe
I have forgotten
To Seek Calm
Instead
I Am Alive
With further
Curiosities and Perplexities
New, but oddly Familiar
Light and
Sound and
Movement and
InFinite Possibilities
I Smile and
Knowingly Breathe
I Feel the Light
I Feel the Sound
I Am the Light
I Am the Sound….
