Creating Space
An
opportunity for salvation
can
be found in every moment
of
mindfulness…clearing away the mental debris
to
create spaciousness…a calm respite…
an
empty void
into
which each inhalation of breath
can
enter…filling the lungs…
oxygenating
the blood…exciting the neurons
into
a white frenzy of light…pulsating
with
electric energy from source to soul…
firing
through previously dormant synapses
with
a passionate frenzy
of
creative inspiration…a tidal wave…
a
fervor of high peak ascension…
wait…what
happened to the quiet reprieve?...
slow
down…start over…each moment
is
an opportunity…

The human condition...we want to be peaceful BUT there is always something.
ReplyDeleteNice reflection of meaning in technique! Thank you for a needed reminder.
ReplyDeleteand sometimes the opposite of quiet is needed to escape from the interring silence - but, that being said, love the serenity about your poem.
