joy and calm blankets over me
watching the kangaroos in the garden
chewing on freshly grown grass
the rain certainly helped
the sun is up and its rays warm the air
breeze plays with tree branches
it’s nearing the end of summer
the finish of the mango season
there is much to be grateful for
nature generously offers its gifts
the wildlife is enjoying them
graciously and freely
nothing missing – all is provided
for survival of all species
but humans
still fret
unnecessarily
softly falling rain
removes the chain
of emotional pain
make it our goal main
to become fit again
heavy lifting like a crane
could feel insane
forsake words profane
if body weight you gain
oxygen flows in a vein
is it safe to explain
what does soda contain
artificial sweeteners refrain
the taste of a new domain
drink fresh sugar cane
get rid of the wine stain
stop to vilify grain
its effects ascertain
body fuel regain
learn to entertain
in the fast lane
like a bullet train
with no champagne
if we are to be sane
it may sound mundane
food is to sustain
not energy drain
extra pounds do retain
diets to disdain
it’s a deeper terrain
stop to complain
no longer restrain
preaching was in vain
eating is not humane
abstain
empty vessel
containing no thing
no thought no memories
vast new landscape
blank canvas
smell of freshness
newly stretched
onto the frame
the lived dream
of meditators
the perception of
newborns
soft feel of yarn
caressing fingers
colorful thread
bouncing on a table
sliding in and out
opening spaces
perfect for a hook
creative expression
in a flash of time
boundless and free
focused on the now
the world evaporated
healing the mind
bringing peace
internal harmony
tranquility
hooked
