In conversation with my mind..

I am addressing you directly, my mind

Why is it that I always find

You racing ahead of me, full of thoughts

In ever direction, so many that I cannot

Let the rest of me keep up with you

My heartbeat speeds up, adrenaline rushes in too

In order to process at a dizzying speed

Everything you throw at me, I cannot read

Inside you, my own precious mind

I am constantly trying not to be left behind..

*

Slow down, dear mind, lighten your load and mine

Purge yourself of racing thoughts, together we can then design

A life of balance, that allows frequent pause

To reflect, reset, be more intentional because

You overwork yourself, and overwhelmed I stay

To lessen our burdens we have to find a way..

*

Be with me, my mind, as I try to meditate

Let me bring you to a more equanimous state

Let thoughts float by without finding a space

To lodge themselves inside you, and displace

The blank space that we are trying to create

For negative thoughts and energy to dissipate..
