Calm, Quiet, Peaceful Awakening Poem by Ravi Kopra

How tranquil
calm, quiet, peaceful

smooth sailing
no turbulence

mind, body
eternal balance

a flat smooth boulder
facing east on a mountain

no body around me
all nature

away from the maddening
world of degradation

sitting there in the morning
watch the sunrise. I close eyes

to get in me
the beauty of nature

I open eyes to see the river
calmly flowing in the ravine

in the valley below
where wild quiet animals

gather for sip of water
and quiet birds on boughs gather

to look for morning bites
I imbibe the sun's warmth

its light, its shine
on my face, my body

in deep meditation
to fill my soul

with the wonder
of creation

to feel alive
and be not dead

in body, mind
soul of mine...
