It’s a crazy world I live in

Kinetic in its own force

Yet at times I can still my thoughts

Somehow I can alter motion

When I quiet my mind

In a world of hustle and quickened pace

Somehow I separate and enter space

It’s a crazy world I live in

Just as it is-just as it was -and shall be

My soul eludes continuum

Aware that time is passing

I stand helpless and unafraid

Deep within me is evasion that is silent

I still my mind

Thought is not intrusive when stillness pervades

Thought

It tries to limit me

It won’t invade

It’s a crazy world I live in

Even if for moments my spirit is captivated and silent

I still my mind

My spirit now refreshed and cleansed

Stillness gone

A whirlwind of tension and jumbled thought

Move through me

As air required for breath

I long to still my mind

I long for spirit

It’s a crazy world I live in…
