Seijaku

Trains and buses, planes and cars busy circles round and round buzzing an abusive pace Where I sit inside my head where I choose to navigate worries not the noisy light Gardens of a silent world open always as we dream not just for a slumber’s rest Set for me as flowers grow softness of a soundless scene one and world can coexist As I sift through time and space I am still as mind declares movement, there is none at all

Mike, thanks....I had to look up "seijaku" and it seems like a very interesting concept. How special indeed it is to clear ones mind for a time! I tend to have a very active mind with thoughts swirling around all the time and do enjoy trying to suppress it all for a while. I guess this applies to a lot of people since it has a place in several cultures. Thanks for making me smile!

Mike, "sounds" to me like you are a thoughtful and meditative soul, which is a good thing. Those of us who can filter out the noise of the rat race are lucky indeed! This is causing me to think about our existence and brings a smile. Hopefully, there exists a sane balance.
