Where do I go to lose myself?
An empty beach….
…book from a shelf?
To stop the chatter in my mind
A place of peace I crave to find
I clean
I mend
I work
I cook
And then…I stop and take a look
This place of fluster, this place so rushed
This place where every button gets pushed
I snap
I snarl
I then retreat
The same old cycle I repeat
A raging tiger looks once more
For an escape… an open door
That TV series watched on loop
Is this the level I would stoop?
To dull the chatter
To ease the pain
I feel it flow through every vein
Distract…deflect ….I’ve tried them all
But it’s not long before I fall
Back into chaos
Back into drudge
Through lifes dilemmas I do trudge…
There have been moments ….the light comes on
That tranquil passage it has shone
A light so pure it guides me through
The indecision …the mental goo
To lose my mind and find my soul…
Where pure surrender is my goal
All I’d noticed …all I’d found
Was just to sit without a sound
Each breath could lead me deep within
To shut out noise …to shut out din
I soon discovered every morning
As bird song starts and day is dawning
To watch an ever-changing sky
From orange hue …to blue up high
That silence cradles every cell
There is no worry… there is no hell
As loved ones sleep…I clear my head
In deepest slumber…safe in bed
A house so quiet… a house of love
I feel their presence up above
For I am blessed and I now see
It’s always been right there for me
There are no shackles… no need to run
A life that’s filled with so much fun
For I have choice… I have free will
A place so calm …a place so still
This place has always been inside
A gentle brook … emotional tide
To wash me clean …a place to heal
A place to be…a place to feel
This place that stretches far and wide
No more tears…no need to hide
For I am love and love is me
And in this place my soul is free
The conscious soul it has been fed…
In pure surrender… worries shed
Where do I go to lose myself….
