A Quiet Mind

Traveling at the speed of light

Almost non-existent

Yet lingering in an afternoon

Leaving a trail of recollection,

A simple thought may rattle round

Along with near a million friends

Cluttering, muttering, oiling and buttering,

Making a mush of an unhushed mind.

Mocked by confusion

Tricked by illusion

Pallid profusion of translucent clouds,

Teetering, tottering

Dickering, dockering

Mocking and shocking

While cloaked in a shroud.

 

Oh, where to turn for sweet consolation?

Solace of silence

In calm meditation,

Soft kiss of bliss in

Devine hesitation.

Lost in the moment

Aloof and resigned.

Seeking the nothing,

Traveling nowhere,

Lost in the temple of

A quiet mind.
