I am Buddha...
w a l l o w i n g
in the refreshing stillness,
A lone swan
smoothly gliding
in the stream of present time.
Everything slows
to a snail pace;
With my mind
in repose,
i think not
of tomorrow,
or of yesterday.
I plumb the depths
of myself,
perfectly centering
in the now.
I l o o k
around life,
sniffing air
like a sandalwood fragrance.
I marvel at
the beauty of nature.
I am peace...
like a dove
seizing precious moments
as tight as
a hangman's noose.
I treasure them all
before the world
gets moving again.
I i n h a l e
my piece of mind
like a soft, healing zephyr.
I live gloriously free
in the present,
blissfully grateful
to God
for all that I have,
for waking
yet another day.
And for my breath....
N O W.
