Zen mode

a burning yearning playfully arose cajoling the universe to replay a refrain however we cannot cross the same river twice and therefore we smile, yawn and move on recognising nonchalance holds the key

Hi Seeker, Enjoyed this poem. A few thoughts about it. "Zen Mode" delves into the theme of life's impermanence. It contrasts a deep longing with the truth that experiences are fleeting, emphasizing that we cannot relive any moment. The poem suggests acceptance of change, using the metaphor of a river to illustrate life's continuous flow. The serene response to this realization—smiling, yawning, and moving on—highlights the freedom in embracing transience. Lovely!. Cheers, Don
