In solitude I sit
quieting my mind
with peace and stillness all around
my inner self I find
A tranquility so beautiful
A silenced deafening roar
of normal life that carries on
beyond this temple door
Colours vivid, vibrant hues
a clarity unmatched
shattered like glass the moment that
the door became unlatched
Try as I might the moment lost
at least for now it seems
My meditation gave just a hint
a taste of the serene.

shattered like glass the moment that

Try as I might the moment lost

My meditation gave just a hint
