Bhavana
Sitting silently
Watching my mind unravel
Equanimity ensues
And it's quite a marvel
Conceptions dissipate
As I just let things be
And try not to control
What's been locked inside of me
The first thing I noticed
Is the very air I breathe
Does my undulating abdomen
Follows its own Creed
I noticed the ground
Beneath my feet
How I mesh into the Earth
Is quite beyond me
My muscles tense
Then relax in due time
Vipassana is life
Like a professional pantomime
I see things for what they are
And nothing beyond that
I am freed from the very place
That's where I've sat and relaxed
Peace becomes me
More than just a feeling
I am one with the cosmos
Blissfulness blossoms from bhavana seeds
My mind unclutters
As I gain composure
I need no explanations
Or disdainful disclosures
I become who I am
Not who I once was
I'm at the brink of enlightenment
But yet still at square one
No time constricts me
For each moment comes as another passes
I'm like I nearly blind man
Just receiving his glasses
I must share this Glee
To be freed from self-induced misery
To all who will listen
I'll explain what I've seen
Only then will I be freed
And my conscience wiped clean
When I give the gift
of the eternal unseen
