You Will Learn Lessons When The World Quiets To The Sound Of Your Breath Poem by Daya Nandan

Sometimes you need to walk away from the crowd
Sometimes you have to clear all thoughts within your mind’s cloud,
Sometimes you need to be alone and isolate yourself from the world,
In order to make progress, in order to abate the many fears that twirl,

Isolate yourself until you can train yourself and train your mind to focus,
Until your punches and kicks can break the branches of a healthy black locust,
While training in the silence of solitude you will truly discover the true you,
The true potential that was hidden under the earthly skies so blue,

You discover yourself and all your strengths and weaknesses that you never knew,
You will discover a new way to look at things, you will find a different view
You will learn what works for you and what does not work
You will discover many hidden powers within that lurk

Discover yourself in solitude, isolation is the key,
Be free from distractions, go to an island across the deep blue sea,
You will learn lessons when the world quiets to the sound of your breath
You will find that solitude helps the troubled mind find its hidden path,
