Still Now Still

Science now says that meditation changes the brain
connects the neurons, high ways in thinking
all I know is that it keeps me in this moment
still dark, still but not quiet and early still in the morning
larks sing somewhere in the present and the sun still sleeps
this moment is full of awakenings
i remember the storm, the fast beating of hail against panes
too early to awake but thunder and flashes of light
fling me into this side of awareness
the hail is gone, melted into earth and the only sign
the flowers from the pomegranates scattered at my feet
a future thought...will there be fruit? collides with my present
No matter, it doesn't matter now for the trees still stand
many flowers and small hard fruits still attached
the larks still sing and my coffee is getting cold
