Oh contrary mind
be still!
Never satisfied
always perceiving what is lacking
untrusting
unappreciative of here and now.
Contentment and abundance
both present
and many other gifts.
Stop looking out
stop grasping
be with what gently
presents itself.
Life is a flower
softly unfolding
petal by petal
a delicious centre
hidden from view
revealed only in it own time.
Oh contrary mind
be quiet!
Hush your relentless prattling
notice the flower
softly unfolding.
