Notes About The Poem

Meditate

Meditate
However distressing one’s life has been, forget the gloom. Rise up as lotus does, above muddy water they bloom.
Quote: poets own *
Meditate, it helps you to stay calm It’s being soothed with a soothing balm Relax your body and clear your mind Leave all one’s worries and stress behind. Slip away to a place without harm As described in the words of a psalm Become immersed in the universe With the I am in prayers converse. Heed the dear Lords law and have no qualms You will find a welcome in His arms In silent solace may you find sound rest Your heart and soul be enhanced and blessed. God holds the whole wide world in his palm Gently guiding with His grace and charm Tat Tvam Asi - "thou art that" as one With God the Father and God the Son. 17th July 2021

I don’t meditate Jennifer, physically not able to get into position, knee and hip replacements, but that doesn’t stop me enjoying quiet spiritual moments. I wrote this poem especially for the contest. Thank you! Hugs, Belle
