sit Buddha cross legged

 sit Buddha cross legged

stare at the moon the lost horizon

 gaze across galaxy's last gleaming 

make change take place

invest inside 

sit Buddha cross legged

forget everything be one be none

empty the soul the spirit the heart

rewrite transcripts barcodes and erase memory cards

starting over

sit buddha crosslegged 

cut the cord release the thread

spread yourself wide and deep 

time and space and thoughts escape

focus on breathing

relax the mind

focus on nothing

release the ego

become part of the whole

sit buddha crosslegged

right now

 put the blame on 

count the times

numbers don't lie

feel the balance

release serotonin 

complete the task

remove a frozen moment in anger

remember your father

invite the stranger inside

that's what he did

come alive

review the tracks that lead you here

remember your mother

she still loves you

feel the weight

settle your feet

make a toast

pay honor to sacrifice

there are plans undone

houses abandoned

steps not taken

remember who you are

your why continues

sit with it

open your eyes

let your guard down

 smell taste touch

listen and watch

so many before

collective wisdom

sounds of life

you are within this 

part of this magic and horror

feel the pain

explore its texture

slow down enough to witness

do not enter

there is a time when roadblocks appear 

things undermine progress

plowing forward into these barriers causes crashes

you can get hurt smashing up against walls all day

regroup relax remember

this has happened so many times before

a new approach

a new route

a new destination entirely
