Is zen
locked in my mind
I can’t find
peace
without it
emotions swell
like an ocean wave
I need to be brave
and zen
gives me that
words of wisdom
that soothe my soul
when life’s strife grows
the zen in me
helps
troubles come and go
perhaps I am enlightened
for answers are brightened
and problems
get solved, by
the zen in me

zen – circle
(the symbol that all things cycle)
have a zen-filled day

I really enjoyed the poem. The Zen in Me: I am deeply grateful for my teachers.

The Circle….my second favorite symbol, but a close second. Spirals are it for me
I like the Zen in you. It’s contagious.

I feel like “grasshopper” whenever I visit here, only I doubt I will ever gain a level of clarity to enable me to snatch the pebble.
Thanks for my morning dose of Zen.

To sit within the silence and meet that inner me..I often sit and listen to the answers…. the cycles are forever coming around, we all of us have to complete the circle of Life.. Its not until we learn we see we need not go around again..
Loved this poem ~Dreamwalker

The answers that get brightened when I meditate zen-wise are the ones I know should be the first to be utilized as soon as I stand and stretch after my meditation session! It sort of feels like a jewelsmith is in there polishing off the tarnish of the truths I already know but could not see before.

I love the calm confidence in me, following my quiet sitting. I like how you poetically described the zen in you.

I am trying very hard to connect to my Zen and the universe. I do slip at times and need a reminder that all can be good, if I just learn to release. I always enjoy your posts so much.
