Meditation Poem by Mike Finley

Meditation

Rating: 5.0


thirty seconds short of a miracle
reminds the world
to keep me on my toes

forget it's a poem it's
life everlasting and what would
you give for life everlasting

i am a cracker breaking into
the crumbs of what i am, fit for a journey
through a thousand carnivorous years

remember me the way you first glimpsed me
through the wrong end of the telescope
that's me in the distance, my hand in yours

shut the door the thing out there
that was us will go away
and let us remember what

a privilege it was to bless this
space that was our duty
to keep busy with being

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Mike this blows me away and makes me remember what good poetry is really like. As for the 'groping for a more positive vocabulary', that's not a bad reason for writing poetry, in my humble opinion. The light is universal, after all. 'i am a cracker breaking into the crumbs of what i am, fit for a journey through a thousand carnivorous years' is a most quotable quote and I'd love to use on my Yoga website, with your permission. O frabjous day, calloo callay, he chortled in his joy! love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
