Art of Being

2017

The art of being -

Here.

Where the past is created and the future explored,

It is the filling of one’s lungs

And the release of another’s.

Here, is a mixture of senses

Some suppressed

And some aware;

Feeling the things that cannot be seen.

Where signs are presented

And a breath of peace is given-

Giving knowledge and understanding;

That here is where one ought to be.

Here-

A place where you are not just a mark-

But where you are marked

By the warmth that is cooled with each breeze.

Your body syncs with the energy of the ground-

Where pride meets humble

And everything is in unison - No rushing about,

No fighting thoughts.

[ Just letting them flow -

O n e -

T w o -

Then nothing for a while as you begin to understand

Here peace is constant

Not just consistent;

It’s discovered in every second and appreciated

Continuously.

Here it is not forced, and it is found with ease

Between fear and freedom

Of not knowing;

It is the semi want to stay -

Fighting the urge to move on.

Here the calm is so strong you forget to breathe

Yet a power so overwhelming you gasp for air;

This is the here -

The now;

This is the art of being. ]
