Meditation

When I feel stressed I close my eyes Sit very still or lay flat Makes no differences Breeze deeply in Then let it out Until my body is peaceful Humming whatever sounds Do this for hours non stop Waiting for my body and mind To calm down from the day When peaceful- I would sleep

Hey Darlene, some say silence is peace. This is clearly depicted in the last line "When peaceful- I would sleep". Nice work.

That's exactly what I do when I can't sleep. Works every time. By-the-way, Darlene, I think you meant to write the word "breathe" instead of "breeze" in the 5th line of the 1st verse.

It is important to learn to quiet the clamor of the outside world, Darlene. I'm glad you've found a way to do this, as your poem aptly shows.
