After a Silent Retreat

Post by judih » August 23rd, 2022, 11:01 am

Day 1

recollection
all the scattered pieces
find their way home

.

voices of wisdom
remind us nothing changes
courage to observe

.

dare i look closer
what is this habit
oops, maybe next time

Day 2 - morning

night bird
her call before dawn
this second day

.

disconnect from noise
simple meeting with moment
so very freeing

.

choice of banana
consciously chewing
focus on senses

.

Afternoon

a perfect partner
problems only in the mind
quick to fantasize

.

self-observation
trite or deep inquiry
honeymoon phase

.

just in time
a few days of re-set
restoring inner joy
.

Evening

her blue eyes
so wide and encompassing
better to see need

.

my heart wide-open
each cell taking nourishment
energy transformed

.

my brain rebellion
distraction required
reaction to work

.
Day 3 - morning

behind closed eyelids
Rothko inspiration
call to paint

.

fresh from the vault
subconscious dream selection
scenes in soft pastel

.

many voices
similar messages
the news is not bad

Afternoon

sunshine fades
sunflowers in postcards
a child’s longing

.

spirit energy
fills up my empty vessel
humble gratitude

.

dedication
all my efforts
a bloom on a hill
