When You Look Inside

 

When you look inside,
Where does your attention go?
An internal energy,
A power,
A flow.

When you observe the breath,
What do you now see?
A play of consciousness,
A freedom,
Serenity.

When you move the body,
What do you feel?
A sense of integrity,
A space,
An ideal.


This poem is from the book, ‘Bound To The Wings Of A Butterfly’.

Laughing

 

I don’t want
to be
where
I am.
I could move but
there is
nowhere
I can go.
I am trapped
inside
my cursed
mind.
It follows
me
everywhere,
laughing
at my
pain.


This poem is inspired by the book, ‘How To Write Evocative Poetry’.
