Meditation

Close your eyes
and think of nothing.
Indulge in the serene quietness.
Escape from reality.

Society, too busy
not taking time out
to revitalize the soul.
Stress begets stress.

Count the twinklings stars,
relax the mind for deep pondering.
Wise men live a hundred lifetimes
only when seeking the soul.

    Had a friend who was into transcendental mediation years ago. Liked the images your words bring to mind. Think we all have to meditate now and AGAIN AND JUST LET OUR MINDS GO.

    Very nicely written. I too like to count the twinkling stars at night. This was a favorite pass time when I was a kid. Lie on my back and count the stars that would twinkle. This took hours, but was enjoyable...Good luck in the contest...Katie

    Close you eyes and think of nothing, these words start your poem off so serenely and incur a feeling of peace which stays with the reader throughout the poem. A very nice read, thankyou and may I wish you well in the contest. Val

    Soft and soothing, i try to do this as often as i can to get through the stresses of urban life and the chaos of the modern world and its needs and demands. Thank you for reminding us of the inner stillness that cures all pain

    Lady Altheia,

    your words do speak with great wisdom. For it is often difficult, at best, to find peace in the chaos of society. It is only in the withdrawing from it and unto ourselves that we can any measure of this elusive but much needed solace.

    Best of Luck in the Contest

    A really elegant piece that cries out - "Be still my soul" in a heartfelt way. I like this piece.
