Poem - A New Practice
Let me learn mindfulness
Let not haste + media
Overwhelm my senses.
Let me be conscious of every
breathe, every feeling
Every tingling sensation
On the whole of my body.
Put a megaphone
To every buzz + whir
To every odour + shade
To the near + distant
noise-filled world
Ever moving, never ceasing.
Find myself in the moment
Cherish the now
Plan for tomorrow
Do my best
To rest
While running at top speed
While speeding up or
Slowing down.
Time never existed
It's a human construct
through + through
Buttressed by the illusion
That we're in control.
The moments simply flow
One to the next
And then another.
Embrace its pace
And merge yourself
Back
Into
This natural world.
