After a Silent Retreat
Posted: 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
