An unpleasant thought enters my mind
And an inexplicable urge I find
To replace it with a more palatable thought
The original thought has perturbed me, I cannot
Wait for it to exit my consciousness and make way
For another, more pleasant thought to enter and stay
*
What if I could merely a passive observer be
The thought passing through my mind I would see
Without reacting to the emotions that the thought
Would unfortunately to the surface have brought
Once the thought passed by, an empty space I would find
A vast sea of silence and tranquility in my mind
I would let my mind stay there, of thoughts devoid
Until another thought floated in to fill the void..
If I could then observe the new thought similarly
Without reacting with emotion, I could train myself to be
Comfortable with the empty space in my mind
In this fast-paced world, peace I might be able to find
Passion...unbridled
