Meditation/Medication

by Corey Mesler
 
 

           “day goes everywhere investigating accidents

            but my head’s quiet as water”

                       Bei Dao

  
 

Thoughts are clouds. The mind

is the sky.

 

We want the mountain to come

to us. We

 

want the peace stillness brings. We

often wonder

 

at how close mountain is to maintain.

At how close we

 

all are to the final enlightenment,

just out of reach, thankfully.
