Wonderful times
have wonderful rhymes
for all those wonderful laughs
reveal wonderful sunshine in our paths
and we write, we write it all..
down on paper..

In spite of all the things that go wrong,
there's so many things that go right.
So many friends that show us it's all alright.
So many fields, so many flowers,
so many years, so many memories
captured,
in the heart,
deep inside,
all those lovely ones
who spark such life,
in our minds
and help us become less stuck..

So many things come and go,
we get those who yell at us,
but they're just suffering.. I know..
Life is hard, a judgement here
a judgement there..
a threat to those who cannot even bear
to live this life, because it's hard..

But let us remind ourselves,
things do get old..
and wash away,
even thoughts,
they die after play..
It's all a play.
Impermanence is inevitable.

It is said
only essence lives on.
Our outer body dies and becomes dust along
a buried field of grass.
Our outer body can also be sprinkled after cremation
over the ocean's currents along with a prayer of reflection,
as our essence lives on.

This life force, does it even turn old,
or turn dead?
Many of us don't even know how to feel it, or
acknowledge if we're always in our head.

Many who have crossed over see that our light never dies,
it never sets.

So..

I prioritize today.

Everything and everything doesn't matter
as much as my time with my true nature inside that sways.
Can I allow my mind to still and allow myself to be free?

And the more I do makes its easier, it makes it easier to breathe.

I choose to feel that peace inside that never pushes me away.
It is gentle, it is kind, it is calm.
I feel it in my hand.

Its that pulsating feeling in my fingers, its so alive.
It's so alive.

I feel it in my feet, as if I were a tree deeply rooted to the earth..

I feel my legs and my arms filled with aliveness
and
the mind becomes more calm.

Then little by little,
I scan each part of me,
like my bottom,
my back,
my groin,
my abdomen,
my ribcage,
my chest,
my neck,
my face,
my scalp,
my head...
everywhere in my body I feel more space, with each breath.
And then no longer am I the thoughts or the emotions stuck inside..
I allow everything to pass..
I come back...
I am light.

I have stilled the mind and allow myself to be free.
I breathe.
