Best Equanimity Poems

N otice me when I am in a mood to
   E valuate my every move!

When equanimity falls to the wayside
And the eyes empirically survey the hillside,
It’s Einstein’s time that I can’t bide,
Mawkish mental masturbation adroitly I chide,
Thy self,
Then my discreet self in its inchoate knowledge of reality,
Like the mass of humanity
Dissembling about Nature,
And Nature in turn disassembles matter, that...

Free will signals, an option resisted
But does earth feel bound, orbiting the sun
Equanimity shaken when tested

We remain calm, although attention sways
Embrace and release in serenity
In but not of the world, as we do play

Imbibing...

a surprise is sprung
of the nasty sort
but the beauty is
our heart does not contort

something has changed
a definitive shift
aided by bliss mists

all that is, is grace
to grant heart serenity...

Now and then, quietly without notice,
Time adjusts its spectacles—
Peers through a fogged pane of recall
Where particulars, once urgent, dissolve.

If now and then you find rain in your heart,
be assured it is scheduled—

Life is for the living
It is for a short a season
Whatever life throws at you 
Receive it with equanimity and move on
When  you make mistakes as all mortals sometimes do
Do not run away from God

And move...
