Spellcraft and Meditation

Hear the meaningless soundless noises,
See the colorful and formless shapes,
Breath calm, refreshed full again sigh deep,
Part the curtains before the mind’s model,
Change what person am I for reality.

I am my circle, kin, companions,
Connection to the sweet rain,
Blue jay, be my mentor, lead my heart,
Compassion, build my support,
Vulnerability wounds the pride,
Generously praise each as yourself.

I am what I know, recognize, accept,
Abstraction in the silent darkness,
Sparrow, be my teacher, lead my thought,
Curiosity, deliver my strength,
Depression disconnects my focus,
Seek understanding then find harmony.

I am what I do, action and effort,
Reflection of the cool breezes,
Falcon, be my guide, lead my hand,
Ambition, exertion of my will,
Aggression steals all control,
Step one foot in front of the other.

Change myself to change reality,
Release the model, follow the moment,
Breath calm, refreshed full again sigh deep,
Vision return to the worldly forms,
Hearing welcome meaning and substance.

An interesting flowing write on meditation and searching for that elusive "guide".....

I am what I do, action and effort.....indeed.....you can't hide from karma!
Change myself to change reality.....another profound line...

Thanks for sharing this thoughtful poem

I’m glad that you enjoyed it I take a lot from the Buddha, even if right now I am currently more aligned with the Tao
I was worried that some of the metaphors were too personal

[Clif]

Very nice, relaxing and calming with some reminders of the metaphysical.

Thank you
I’m glad you’re able to connect with it
Is it bad that it still is clumsy compared with my hopes?

[Clif]

I don't think it is clumsy. Hang on to your hopes.

Thank you for your review

I have led relaxation and meditation for years and this poem gives me that vibe, the breathing, muscle relaxation and mental imagery all well characterized in this piece. Here the self affirmations take root. Very nicely done

Thank you
I’m glad that it takes you where it does
