Not counting

Counting
Every breath
The body at rest
The mind thinking thoughts

Another breath enters

Then leaves again
Without effort
Not counting

[29 August 2020]

I should be too

I sit with the night
There’s nobody here
Imagine you writing
In the fresh morning air

I sit with the sound
Of the waves washing sand
Imagine the flow
Of the pen in your hand

I sit with the warmth
My body at rest
Imagine the sparkle
As you smile and jest

I sit with these feelings
Thinking of you
You surely are sleeping
As I should be too

Goodnight


[19 January 2020]

Sit steady

Sit steady
Struggle to climb
Up this mountain
Inside

Busy mind
Carries a lot
I can’t put it down
Can’t step outside

The weight of this body
The weight of this mind
Let it subside
Sit steady
