April 14 – A Wonderful Mind

A poetry exercise, creatively written from a select of words from each line of a randomly picked page (57) of the book (Silence by Thich Nhat Hanh).

A wonderful Mind
I am,
Walk naturally,
Enjoy completely;
Time to prepare yourself.
One in-breath
And you –
“Three seconds to stop thinking.”
Many of us allow
Day after day…
In the present.
Life and all its wonders,
To you –
The beginning
Of mindful thinking.
Step with each in-breath.

Blank Page

I stare into the blank page

Assuming, its eagerness to embrace

My jumbled ideas that, chose the words;

Perhaps, a few drawings

Or a scribbled dot and line game;

Hardly did it strike me as a page of inspiration

Assuming, it’s the mirror

Willingly reflecting the many expressions –

Subtle emotions not meant for an audience;

I stare into the blank page.
