Sit, <br />relax be still, <br />Shush, hush <br />now, quiet mind, <br />no hopes, worries, <br />past suspicions, <br />or expectations. <br /> <br />Take time, <br />taste the essence, <br />smell the fragrance, <br />feel the air, <br />see the beauty, <br />hear the sounds, <br />both near and far. <br /> <br />Do not hold, <br />do not grasp, <br />you must not attach. <br />Just rest in the peace <br />that is yourself, <br />let the magic rise. <br /> <br />Now the <br />intelligence <br />in silence, <br />gives birth to, <br />fresh ideas, works of art, <br />and a life full of a <br />serenity that lasts.<br /><br />Bob Blackwell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/serenity-19/
