Why do you look at a flower
And desperately try to analyze its essence?
Do not do so;
Instead, simply surrender your body to its sweet fragrance.
You are not gods.
Be grateful, and simply enjoy the moment.
For within that very fleeting instant,
The true law and truth of the universe exist.
You are, after all, beings destined to die.
Yet, even while knowing our mortality,
We live on, holding onto hope.
Therefore, do not dare to analyze that hope!
Even if hope remains invisible to our eyes,
Your beating heart has already
Fully awakened to its sacred existence.
"Stop analyzing hope. Just let your heart beat."
.
Observe. Do not analyze.
Abandon all temptations
without analysis Observe.
Observe sans conclusion.
No arriving at conclusions
Never stop at a conclusion.
Observation, it is perennial.
If any conclusion is drawn,
Accept not the concluded
Conclusion, it is a process.
Observe the process clearly.
Dare reject all conclusions.
Return to the Observation.
…….Observe the one observing.
………Observe observer observing.
…………Unobstructed, no stoppages.
…………….There is no one to advocate.
……………….Finally there’s no observer left.
…………………..Observer is merged in wisdom.
Observe; Do not analyze; If analyzing, conclude not.
If concluded, accept not; If accepted, advocate not.

Whatever you may hear
Is not now final my dear
One can cheat your ear
Truth may hide very near
Never believe in what is said
Let musing happen in head
Just by saying "daily bread"
Stomach cannot be fed
By skillfully concocting a rumor
Into your ears one may murmur
It may be provided with glamor
Here comes reasoning grammar
Your ears, never close at all
Grasp whatever others disclose
Please exhibit an innocent pose
Valuable news, all will expose
Analyze the received message
Scan every possible advantage
Let no news cause any damage
Your life you shrewdly manage.
People are saying
That would violate our rights!
Let's talk about it...
The "intellects" say
Let's analyze the problem
There's a better way...
The "experts" relate
Their knowledge on the problem
How to deal with it
While these people talk
The terrorists make new plans
To strike us again
They know what to do
They have no petty squabbles
Their mission is clear
We're the infidels
To be exterminated
To the last person
Justified by their
Evil, twisted version
Of reality
While we talk, they act
While we analyze, they kill
While we die, They laugh...
I saw a red leaf.
Visually, unremarkably,
we glide through life
at times,
filling stores with memorabilia.
Artifacts of our histories.
We see things in passing.
Sometimes we stop.
We gaze and remember.
Sometimes we see
new things in the familiar.
I saw a red leaf.
A part of myself I had forgotten.
During the course of your miracle
you will encounter yourself
in many facets,
much like the diamond you will become.
You will see yourself in many ways,
with light shining through
the prism you become.
Some of this light will be red.
You may see a leaf.
Nowhere in the whole wide world,
Is there anyone just like you.
No one touches other's lives,
The same way that you do.
No one does things like you do,
Has that certain flare.
No one has your specialness,
Has that certain aire.
When something doesn't turn out right,
And you feel out of step,
When others tend to put you down,
And make you feel inept,
Think on the talents that you have;
The things that you do well.
Where we could find another you,
No tongue on earth could tell.
Think... Think... Think...
Structure, Observe, Ponder.
Think, Think, Think.
Wonder, Debate, Analyze.
Think, Think, Think.
Maybe? Possibly? Probably...
Think, Think, Think.
To much? Overload, Stress.
Think, Think, Think.
Neurons Firing, Waves Crashing.
Think, Think, Think!
Run, Flee, Hide!
Think, Think, Think.
Safe? Silent? Invisible?
Think, Think, Think.
Peer, Peek, Glimpse.
Think, Think, Think.
Withdraw, Withhold, Deviate.
Think, Think, Think.
Breathe, Decision made,
Don't Think.

You talk and talk and talk about this, you analyze life with a complete utter miss. Why are you so mad, what has gotten you so sad, why do become judge and jury why have you begun to live life with such fury? “analyze this”
I get it, in life not everything is perfect everyone has a personal blight, scab, scar, a bloody nose, some imperfection, no perfect insight. “analyze this”
Negativity is not the answer, personal code to which you must uphold, says to live true to yourself and to that of others, to give a bother not to judge them to treat them as fodder. “analyze this”
You talk and talk and talk about this, you analyze life with a complete utter miss. Judge if you must for we all do in simplistic ways unaware sometimes but you, you are judge and jury and clearly I can see you now live life, a life with such fury. “analyze this”
You will not read this for now you are gone, I did what I could, but you banged your drum, maybe one day when you are not so sad you will realize all I did was say hey you will be okay but I am here for that day when we can talk again and we can say “analyze this”…Poetry by Dean
Life's rhythm is the fast
step in my walk on cement
that
can change anytime.
Anxiety to get
there quickly is too quirky,
am
I a step ahead?
The faster I go,
the slower every step seems;
Stop,
pause and analyze?
