Meditation

Recently I had to write a poem for my participation in Sibella magazine. I am not a poet on demand. The original instructions said the poem should be written in a certain time period however the day before I thought it was to start I receive and email saying that day was the last day.  Well, knowing myself well, I muddled through my day getting other paper work out of the way.  Went to bed with an empty mind asking that the poems arrive.....I wrote 2 at midnight and when I tried to fall back to sleep I struggled. I meditated to obtain an empty space and this poem is the poem that came, that will be in the next edition of Sibella (an online magazine for women for poetry and artwork). Enjoy

    Meditation

I only know what I know

Until I decide I want to let go

And visit that place deep within

Hiding the new life I want to begin

Taking a deep breath I slide down under

To a place without all the noise and thunder

Where sound is nil, sweet, soft or low

And everything is seen through a soft glow

New beginnings of mundane things

Change within my very own veins

Possibilities before my same eyes

Seem to fall from a now blue sky

Immersing myself deep in that place

Where darkness usually holds the space

And feel the smile that covers me now

And know everything begins with wow

Love, birds, flowers, and other things

Seem to blossom and begin to sing

What once was mundane as seen through a cloud

Is clear, exciting and right here, right now

Now I still only know what I know

Except that when I decide to let go

I can visit a place that is deep within

And a new slice of life will soon begin
