I Love Meditation Mediating Mindful Poems
A mind can be renewed if a mind can be observed
What exaggerated stories, what web of lies do I tell myself,
When things go wrong? Do I go on and on ... about what I deserved!
Enter the ancient practice, I have begun to bring out of my back shelf
Because I assumed Jesus prayed but unlike Buddha, refused to meditate ...
Assumptions confuse worldviews - refusing The Spirit to have all of myself!
When a younger person says, "I admire this or that trait
In you," O the trees look their greenest, even RED lights flash their rightest ...
Recall living WORDS of LIFE, and do not receive flying "gifts of hate!"
It seems hard work; as with poems that pass the basic writing test:
Refusing to repeat negative words, from friend, family or foe. Breathe deep
And meditate on how we breathe, on oxygen, sifted expertly from the rest ...
A wonder that Oxygen alone passes nostril to enter each cell Deep ...
Via astute alveoli, who turn off every other gas! Turn off poison (bad words)
We cannot replay them in our minds, over and over, even in sweet sleep!
Jesus, Jimmy Carter, Mandela ... do not hit "REPEAT" on words that disturbed
Their disciples: Forgiveness is That Faith For Future Fruitful Survival - a must -
To avoid poisoning all life on Earth: "Watch & Pray. Reject recycled word-turds"
As I stand before the Cross, marvelling at the dazzling divinity of agape love!
