Meditation
A homemade bean bag
At my root chakra
The seated lotus
Erupts within me
My hearing stretches
And I listen to the earth’s heartbeat
The solid rhythm
Humming like the generator she is
She calls to me
Promising flight
If only I am brave enough
To take that first step
Kundalini yawns and stretches
Up my spine
Spiraling and igniting fire
Within my heart
White light
Empowers a lifting
I am no longer tied
To what was
I rise
And expand
Then shrink
Into a molecule
Form is no longer
A function
But a vanity
An attachment
In an instant
I am no longer
Where I was
But have traversed eons
My eyes grace
Birthing nebulas
Dying entities
Timeless space
My mind
Tries to force
Form upon them
Only to experience invisible laughter
Light and color
I have never known
Mesh together and deliver
Surreal music
I am alone
Yet surrounded by those
Who have come before me
To draw light and wisdom
Their voices align
Taking me to new heights
No longer am I afraid
Of what is to come
For I realize everything
Has been
And has gone
Only to come again
Like the waning tide-moods of the ocean
Over at dVerse Poets today, Mary has given us the word 'preparation' and asked us to write about some of the techniques we use, or what the word means to us. I often use meditation for a means to de-stress or to unclutter my mind when things get hectic in my life. This is just one of the experiences I have enjoyed with regular practice.

So lovely... the ability to experience meditation like this is difficult.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by Laurie. Yes having an experience such as this is few and far between, I always hope for more though. :)
Deleteha. funny thing...i was reading keroac tonight...and your words if the stanzas were broken out remind me of some of his american haiku...I listen to the earth’s heartbeat...love that...also enjoyed looking up kundalini....like a meditation...ha i just saw your label so i guess it is...smiles.
ReplyDeleteWow Brian, you humble me!
DeleteSounds like quite the experience indeed, tried it once or twice but never did much for me, my mind goes a mile a minute and too many voices up there haha
ReplyDeleteThat happens to me sometimes too Pat... it just takes practice. Some find a certain point to fixate on is a help, like watching a candle. Music can also help.
DeleteGorgeous travel you shared here.
ReplyDeleteYeah, meditation can do trippy things to the head. They can be very distracting and satisfying -- almost deceptively so, eh?
ReplyDeletePS - do you know that you have CAPTCH verification turned on -- I had to submit this comment 3 times -- please consider turning it off. It is a pain in the butt for commentors. Thanx. Fun poem
Hello Sabio... I am not sure what CAPTCH verification is or how to turn it off. I am sorry for your troubles, I will look into how to turn it off. Thanks
DeleteWhat a beautiful poem. It is a meditation itself. I loved especially the "invisible laughter" and your beautiful closing line. Wonderful writing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by Sherry... I see we share the same stomping grounds... I too am on the west coast of Canada, Vancouver Island in fact. I am pleased to meet you.
DeleteIt's wonderful to have a set way to decompress and recharge. Well-described. k.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! There are times you have to shut away the world and go within yourself for peace.
ReplyDeleteCandlelit bubble baths work well too Katley! :)
Deletenice..i like that you compare it to the ocean tides and the humming of the earth like a generator...i like
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Claudia!
DeleteShows the importance of being in the moment
ReplyDeletethis is a wonderful poem, such peace found within
ReplyDeleteI miss my yoga. This is lovely!
ReplyDeleteTracie, this is a good place to be. I'm also a would-be practioner of meditation and am finally coming to realize we are all, always, beginners and will never really arrive. I like how you incorporate the chakras and colors.
ReplyDeleteVery true Victoria, I will always be a humble student! Thanks so much for coming by!
DeleteEverything has been and has gone... Yes, that is the moment. Well done!
