Master your mind,” they say,
“Before it masters you.”
Acknowledge the truths of life,
For the mind creates
Countless thoughts.
Know the value of mindfulness.
Being mindful is about self-awareness…
To master the mind,
Master your thoughts.
Become aware of this now.
Whatever this moment is,
Sense it, and breathe in it.
Feel it, and be alive in it.
For the truth lives in every moment.
What you decide to do in this “now”
Has the power to change and rearrange
Your state of being.
Life is precious.
Have faith and trust.
Stay hopeful with every breath,
For the truth is, you can.
After all, the mind works
On exactly what you feed it.

I am inspired by life in the living…
In every thought and feeling, I sense the grace, of the words that arrive as if by providence.
I simply step in to sense and flow free with the magic of words.
In this way I heal and balance myself.
Over the years
I guess the way of free verses have become second skin.
Thank you, Anirudh for taking the time to read my works and for your thoughtful question prompting me to ponder on my way of poetry. 😊 🙏

SMiLes Dear Savvy Considering Modern Science
More Specifically Well Illustrated by the Research
of Well Respected Scientist and Philosopher Iain McGilchrist
Shows That Our Word Thinking Minds Comprise Only .5 Percent of Our
Being Human and Additionally that Emotions Precede Most of Our Thoughts
As Typically The Reasons We Give For Our Actions Come After That It Surely
Doesn’t Make it easy to Control
Our Thoughts Unless We Find
Ways to Regulate Our Feelings and Integrate
Our Senses that in Synergy Make Up Our Emotions
In Yes Integrating Senses and Regulating Emotions ThiS WaY
As Yes in So Many Ways a Meditating Flow Particularly Autotelic
Will Bring to Us Yes Through a Practice That We Must Continue
Lifelong to continue to Wire Ourselves for Greater LiGHT More
Colorful than the
Drab Darkness
That May
Other
Wise
Master
The Thoughts
That come next
For me at least a Meditative
Flow of Free Verse in Song
With a Meditative Flow of
Free Moves in Dance that
Comes First Tends to Play Well
For me as this Play of Life Literally
Slays Fear and Negative Related Thoughts
Associated That Way a More Colorful Way is
Possible If we Come to Integrate Our Senses and
Regulate Our Emotions Life Long In Practices that
The Individual
May Master
Indeed
Where even every
move may become
holy and every word may
become sacred as a way
Of Life
Toward
Greater LiGHT..:)
