Meditating Poem by Sathya Narayana

He asked me:
'Why don't you do some meditation? '
I just smiled.
Next day he explained
all good about

and went on: ' It's simple...

close eyes for fifteen minutes,
twice daily.'

Why you smile always? '

He looked worried.
I pressed his hand affectionately
and smiled again.

After a week of his persistence
I had to reveal:
'When did I stop meditating? '
