Meditation

Habit, lessons from the past

More an invisible cloak familiar,

God still speaks words of caution

The right, the wrong, dos and don'ts,

And you still tread your beaten path

Life unfolds in all its majesty

But your life is caught in drabness 

As monotony dawns with the sun,

Anxiety draw drapes across eyes

That no longer see a thing of beauty.

Uprooting ideals taprooted to every cell,

Skimming scum that surface uttering verdicts,

Ploughing entrenched values of the yore,

Freeing minds of pent up baggage,

Misplaced ones that rake up nonsense.

Into a place unexplored unknown

Deep within the recesses of the mind

With each breath you travel

Accelerating, slowing down

To clear pastures of springtime.
