Solitude!
numerous thoughts
scattered hither and thither
like laser beams
all criss cross and kissing
they come and go
some just veer off like a gust of wind
some stay longer
like the cold cold winters
I observe one
and then the other
they react, speak, laugh, cry
like children amongst a child minder
each passing thought
evokes an emotion
a breath
some painful
some ecstatic
some just plain and cold
I hear the sound of the gong
at a distance
that perfect note
at the right pitch
at the right tune
there is stillness
the thoughts have all but gone
even the ones that set shop
at the distant corners of my mind
I observe this moment
the cold breath
every single one
they don’t oscillate anymore
I sit in solitude
forever and ever!
