Mindless Moments

Life is a saga of suffering Selfishness stings Harsh words hurt Past pains pounds Mind is miserable Thoughts torment Tears take a toll on you Peace is lost But life must be lead Tasks to be finished Crying hampers health, How to be happy? I finally found a simple solution Complete concentration At the task in front Mind and senses at the moment Observing, feeling, enjoying No thoughts, no pain Calmness, joy and bliss Past is dead like previous births Future an illusion This moment in front Waiting to be lived, enjoyed To allow it to slip away in thoughts Stupidity Serving no purpose A wonderful world waiting to be enjoyed Enjoying it by living every moment fully Permeates peace Promotes joy. 18.05.2021 For What Brings You Peace by Chantelle Anne Cooke 1st place
