Introspection

My eyes are open
My mind is pacing 
My heart is racing

So I close my eyes
And sit in quietude 
I was told it fabricates a different attitude 

Looking for the child 
who needs to escape 
While I listen to the echoes 
Of the bowls reverberate

As I look into my Minor eyes
I begin to catechize
As I analyze 
I begin to realize 
My younger mind has been traumatized 

Now I see my inhibitions with great lucidity 
So I begin to question their validity 

As we confabulated
Liberation is what eventuates

I open my eyes to a new feeling 

Once a caged mind
Now unfettered 
Once vacillated 
Now resolute 

Now I embark on an odyssey 
With consecrated determination 
Surmounting impediments without hesitation 

Oh how my life has changed 
Since I’ve been acquainted with meditation.
