Now and Zen for M lady Emma

variant sonnet in tetrameter

 

Now and Zen

 

My navel which I contemplate,

 when in the mood to meditate.

Serves as focus for my mind

 as vainly I attempt to find

The questions which I need to ask

 to find what lies behind the mask

The public face I choose to wear.

I do not think that I could bear

to let the world see the real me

Although I may appear to be.

 A mature man who’s in control

I think I’m searching for my soul.

Though I achieve serenity

 it’s only temporarily.
