Peace of Mind

To escape the tumult 
     And noise of the world, I unlock 
          And enter a secret door to 
               The serene haven of my mind. 

                I  am a meditating Monk 
           Blissfully unperturbed; making 
      The most of my sojourn in this
Uncharted, tranquil Xanadu.

I repose, close my eyes
     And sieve my nagging woes
          Like a dreamcatcher
               Trapping unpleasant dreams. 

                In a tabula rasa mind state;
           I have no conscience of time. 
      I wade into and float on a stream 
That creates no ripples. 

Moments, a snail that crawled
     To a standstill, the zephyr as silent 
          As trickling blood; my mind 
               Deep asleep while I'm wide awake. 

                Here, a welcome respite 
           Where echoes fail to respond.
       When nature speaks, 
It's below a whisper.

      Here, I find 
            My peace of mind. 
                 H   e   r   e,  I am content....
                           and free!
