Sanity’s Cost

Strophe I Outside on the terrace ,I feel at peace I hear bird songs they so fill me with cheer My bugbears for a while outside do cease My mind is quiet and I feel no fear Doing Shikantaza puts me at ease Inner mind practice needed, is this clear? Digging“ shamanic” tunes does do the trick My soul feels at peace and I don’t get sick II Being with nature for me is the cure The longer I am here, these facts are clear A peaceful Oak grove to sit in for sure I must find a way to get out of here A grove with many trees I’d feel secure Be like an Angel Oak and persevere Have to find a way to keep myself sane I must find the key,no time to complain. AnteStrophe I realize you don’t like where you are, Can you find a therapist to chill you out ? You’re there pro tem even if it’s bizarre They can help you for sure without a doubt Try deep thought or breath work both a good route Follow this advice and you won’t burnout Take care and stay grounded whatever you do Balance your routine then you won’t get screwed. Epode Both sides give good advice to keep me sane I will start up Box Breath work where I be Breath work is good for health,you cant complain Writing poems not stated I acclaim Writing poetry surely does help me Diet not mentioned food here is does suck Even if it were told I’m out of luck lan
