Tau Poem: Carpet Floor Sprawl

Each day

That my life passes through and does survive

I take time

Time

To rest from my mind, dreams, and activities

I breathe in the air

Let my soul

(Be still)

Panic driven mind, restless friend of mine,

Be

Still in your thoughts and anxious lines

Of thinking and on the brinking and sinking feelings

Rest mind and be still!

Be still your crying, prying, trying to work

Your dreams are crushing your heart

Crushing your gentle soul

Be still, thinking will not help today

Please be still, rest your mind

Screaming reminders that I will never climb difficulties in

Front of

Me, who has to suppress

My own

Do not do anything, you have nothing to

Do not let your thoughts wander

Smother your mind with games and food

And please forget, your stress mind

Do not confront, your stress mind

Everything will perish so do

Not think mine, be still

You have nothing to gain from thinking except stress.

(Be still)

(Be still mind)
