Ommm – a journey towards inner peace while suffering with acute pins and needles in one foot.

~ Ommm ~
I'm attempting to find inner peace on the top floor
of a down town community hall.
~ Ommm ~
I can hear the anxious siren of an ambulance;
its tone stretched out by the sound waves
that fail to keep up.
~ Ommm
Focus on your breathing... ~
For an apparently relaxation endorsing pose
right now I feel very uncomfortable.
~ Ommm
Look towards your inner eye.
See the beam of bright, white light shine
From your third eye.
See the bright light... ~
I can't see it, are there special opticians
For people who can't see through their third eye.
Maybe I don't have a third eye...
Oh no, I don't think I have a third eye!
~ Ommm
Focus of your breathing...
Focus on the bright light
radiating from your inner eye... ~
Okay I think I've found it, is that it?!
~ You should follow along
towards the golden temple,
Step forward.
And with each step
focus on the feeling
of the fresh, green grass
beneath your feet. ~
My right foot has serious pins and needles!
Don't think about it!
Don't think about it!
~ Your left foot is your Karma,
Your right foot, your Dharma
With each step focus on the feeling
of the fresh, green grass beneath your feet... ~
My Dharma has serious pins a needles!
Ouch, ouch, ouch!
Don't think about it!
Don't think about it!
~ Ommm ~
I need to move but I don't wanna disrupt my zone of inner peace.
Ouch, ouch, ouch!
~ Step into the pool
and feel yourself melt within it.
And lose the sense of having bodily form
Float into the nothingness.
Drift off into the water... ~
I wonder if there are inner eye lifeguards
For the little imagination people who can't swim.
~ Focus on your breathing ~
Pins and needles!
Ouch ouch ouch!
Maybe if I wiggle my toes a bit...
~ Gradually come back to the sense of having a body.
Feel yourself being bought back to life.
You are re-born. ~
Re-born?! Well, if you say so but
My right foot is proper dead right now.
~ Ommm
Keep gently breathing... ~
And now I better brace myself for
the many uncomfortable, complicated poses
that we will manipulate our bodies into...
~ Ommm ~
That distract us temporarily from the manic metropolis chaos
that's buzzing right outside the windows.
~ Ommm
Stretch out and breathe in that beautiful prana ~
The dusty air, choked with car fumes
and the diesel engine hum of the noisy dockyard nearby.
~ Ommm ~
