thriveni c mysore Poet Free verse

Seijaku

As the sun goes west of my school building
day's tiring trying work starts to windup
ears tremble mildly to hear school bell ring
Joy quickens to brush away lesser thing

My own loving heart herds me back to home
With spring in steps I tenderly pick up
flowers, fruits, bread, milk, vegetables and rice
on way thoughts are refreshingly nice

After the crossing I take the right turn
my footsteps are heard to the only one
rushes to greet me, running recklessly
I just kneel to receive my dog Duffy

He tripples like horse when he has made a mess
welcomed me to house strewn with paper bits,
plants separated from root, mud and pots
I transcend the limits of silent thoughts

I put bag, box down. I clear the chaos,
In time everything is in order, with
selfless, humble love Duffy squats Zazen
Life begins anew, world brightens again

It is conscious love that brings peace and bliss
only Mindful thoughts brings placidity
to care and be cared truly is blessing
Only Love and trust keeps one's world spinning

I Am Anaya August 15, 2024 at 9:39 AM Threvini, I really enjoyed reading your post, Seijaku. The finely delineated description of the daily on escaping the hecticness of life entirely, I looked up Zazen, a meditation how proper to insert it. Everything a Seijaku should be. I Am Anaya August 24, 2024 at 10:36 AM aww, I love Duffy! thriveni c mysore August 16, 2024 at 7:54 PM you made me happy today dear friend. I don't know well about the Japanese technique, but my dog has learnt that his knocking off things makes me happy, I am at a loss to teach him otherwise. I adore him anyway, still I sometimes wish for humane rest. thank you for your time. cheers.
