Dear Mind

Dear Mind

please be still.

This incessant movement

jumping from one thing to another

Is so wearing, so fruitless.

Neither you nor I benefit

from this circling waste of energy.

Come home, dear Mind

sit still with me

and rest.

Let’s be silent together

nourished by deep stillness.

Dear Mind

please be quiet.

I choose 

not to believe

all that you say

not to listen to all the

variants you present

not to adhere to your

unceasing way of moving.

I choose to be master, not servant.

Come home, dear Mind

sit still with me

and rest.

Let’s be silent together

nourished by deep stillness.
