Thought For Today

Friday, September 11, 2009

Scattered Thoughts; Scattered Mind

Scattered Thoughts; Scattered Mind


Scattered thoughts; Scattered Mind
Everything at once

Think of this; Think of that
How to keep it straight

Do this; Do that
Hands are flying high

Go here; Go there
Which way is up

Crazy life; Crazy world
How to slow it down

Breathe now, Breath deep
Focus on the breath

In slow; Out fast
Calmness entering

Quiet mind; Quiet breath
Mindful meditation


Open heart; Open mind
Peace is coming now

Noises come; Noises go
A humming in your ear

Letting go; Letting God
Welcome serenity

Light comes; Light shines
Listen to the earth

Heart beat; Heart felt
Music of the soul

Peaceful day; Peaceful night
Spirit's soaring high

Trust Light; Trust Love
All the chaos gone

With Love and Light;

Sorry Nina, I deleted my comment by mistake.... Can't remember what I did... Duh!!!! Anyhow--- I enjoyed your poem... I've felt scattered all day since I've been watching the 9/11 events today. I hope that nothing ever happens like 9/11 again in our country. It's just so sad---and brings up so many 'scattered' feelings..

Hugs,
Betsy

Betsy, it truly was a sad time. I knew someone who saw it happen in NY and it shocked them deeply. I hope great good will spring from the dark abyss this moment created.

Wonderful poem Nina, from chaos to calm :)

I love this one. The very last line says it all.

"Trust Light; Trust Love All the chaos gone"

So simple. So true.

I ticked the inspiration box Nina because that is what your poems do for me....They inspire me to think, feel, enjoy....

And your comments over at my blog always add clarity to the post.

May your spirit always soar.

Namaste

You make a very important point here, Nina. If we wait, have faith, breathe in and out with patience, calm does arrive. It can take time. I love how you wrote about this. Very encouraging for any of us who struggle with busy mind! We can wait it out. Of course, prayer helps! Inner peace is our true nature, may we never forget that. :-)
