Zen's Rumination

Buddha teaches the value of meditation
   and that intuition is renown to creation.
      For we are all but reflection’s notation,
         some Yin and Yang without segregation. 
         Be free in your muse with consideration,
      allow your soul to encompass rumination.
   Be a constant reverie of deep contemplation
and you shall release your imagination. 

Hypnotize your essence with pure expression.
   You may find release in your past regression.
      For beauty is found in a day’s decompression
         with emotions liberated from inner repression. 
         It is innate sometimes to drown in depression, 
      but try to be emancipated without aggression.
   Live a Zen lifestyle with balanced progression…
and free your soul from fear’s possession.
