Meditation

Stillness
like a smooth tranquil lake
within
all is calm abiding
as the world around shakes and crumbles
there is emptiness
mindfullness of
non ego
wrapped in silence

Mountain
to be climbed on a daily basis
sits
like a calling beacon
a reminder of intent to practice
making room
inside
for freedom from thought

Pointedly directed
one follows the breath
in and out
serenity
prevails
as time is suspended
and echos of past and future
mingle with
the beauty of the moment.
