One day I just sat myself on down
For everyone that has been this tired...
One day
I just sat myself on down and closed my weary eyes
camouflaged in relaxation
with peace and serenity my disguise
I put on s o o t h i n g rhythms
lit some incense
then I prayed
let my body release itself
as in balasana pose I stayed
My spirit was craving something that this realm could not provide
The turmoil it created
IMMENSE
Oh
how
my
body
cried
The places I needed holding in could not be reached or found
which is why I came upon that one day
I just sat myself on down
Did not want to move
and
couldn’t stand another minute
and
if there was a record for the way I felt
I’m sure that I would win it
I inhaled deep to breathe the incense that had wafted through the air
It was then I finally realised
I really wasn’t there
This mortal temple just holds my spirit
moving it around
from place to place
That’s quite a task for any temple
in this unusual kind of race
Rest is a necessity when the journey has been long
It’s neglect and indecision that can destroy right
and make it wrong
In sheer anguish
I reached up and out searching for understanding eyes
My perspective severely hampered from a life of heartfelt sighs
So I got real,
REAL
quiet
grabbed my paper and my pen
filled each line with passion and memories to remember that time when
in the sea of life’s adventures
I felt surely I would drown
so etched in my heart is that one day
I just sat myself on down
