For a minute, step away from your own mind…

For a minute, step away from your own mind…
Ease your boat toward the ocean…
Like waves, feel your breath rise and fall…
Watch as the sand changes into elegant art.

The sun now acting like it will never hide again…
Nature feeling no need to reply…
When the devils rise up, say a prayer…
See in your reflection just how beautiful you are.

This is the way I start each day…
Always forever true…
Yes, I can change the day if I want too…
The secret ingredient is faith.

First, I must stop focusing on desires and expectations…
Learn again, that I really know nothing…
Stop accumulating things that will not last…
Realize, that this season’s desires become next season’s garage-sale.

Yes, you have a place in this poem…
Important, elegant and similar…
Bathing in the subtleties of flavors…
Protected here. Safe with me.

I love you,

Annie
