ZEN-like

ZEN-like

Center your mind relax and think about

NOTHING….
Easier said than done because my mind wanders when I’m busy
I dream as I walk, my thoughts enter my head from many angels
Ranging from peaceful to RAGING
I don’t have ADHD I’m just me a THINKER
I ponder the mysteries un-mystified by the majorities of thought
I’ve never smoked Ganja but my brain circles mount ZION
Causing me to think about un-thinkable truths
Exposing reality as false
Incomplete silence I hear music
And in my quiet I speak volumes
I flood blank pages with a wash of vision
Then I unravel the coiled kinks of my head
Causing me to see into oblivion thinking with my loosened scalpe
I tried the yoga and meditation but I find enlightenment through my sight
Thinking up the deepest questions
I realize they come with the mow shallow answers
“What’s the meaning of life?”
“The meaning is whatever definition you find in it.”

I have no need to look to the sky because the stars are all around us
Since we stand on Earth which floats through the cosmos
Dancing in space we sway with stellar souls
So there’s no need to shot for vanity because we are already at the top
….We just need to see that….
When I say this to a Guru I watch their mouths drop
Because I’m there and I did it with a “Clouded mind”
But if you wait a little the sun always shines through the over cast
Beaming the path to destiny
Let me just reach out my hands to catch my dreams
And start a collection of my thought
So that I may display what’s ZEN-like

Blackicon Peace ....

I usually only catch my breath when I play video games. Brotha, in other words, I had caught myself holding my breath in the middle of your thinking, peace.

Peace be upon you

I write what I write to make you think what I see.
