[bodytext] => Nirvana In Meditation Nirvana in the palm of your hand. Have you heard of anything so grand? Yet having attended the classes I take my ease and remove my glasses Preparing to enter my imagination Closing my eyes I focus on my breathing Slowly the fears and the woes are easing In my mind the ticking of the metronome Whilst mentally I picture the fires of home Then feeling safe I slip silently away. Entering the forest of a waking dream Nothing there is as it would seem. The backdrop of stars holds a massive sun Whilst the voyage of the moon is done Leaving behind her bejewelled black canvas. The air is sharp and my mind is focussed Purity of sanity entrenched, I am blessed. Edging forward I stroke the bark of trees Animals scurrying forward, eager to please This is the forest of emotional equilibrium. Non-existent clouds shower the floor With kaleidoscopic rainfall, I want more As the sensation is not wet like the rain But one of a touch not dampness and pain And I am caressed by light down to the bone. In and out with chronological regularity The shallow, steady breaths bring about clarity. A sage could not engineer such perfection A mergence of mind and body in an action Of spiritual cleansing and holistic healing. Alcohol and self-esteem issues fall away Into the sparkling night of Nirvana’s day And pausing I stand, a renaissance man With a mission now forming, a modern plan To banish the insecurity of real-life sorrow. It is hard to stir and leave this place But when I do etched on my happy face Is a smile as broad as the mirage moon And I exhort the problems of day to soon Challenge me and fall by the wayside.
