The Plum

Five AM
Free from desire
Free from longing
Mind filled
With the sound
Of the bell

Breathe in
Pause
Breathe out

I apologise
For the confusion
I was in need
Of a transfusion
Do not worry
The moment passed

Breathe in
Pause
Breathe out

It is a journey
For the experience
Selfishly undertaken
In search
Of gratitude, forgiveness
Safety, inner peace

Breathe in
Pause
Breathe out

Is my purpose
Of love
Of kindness
Anywhere near
Sufficient
For the truth

Breathe in
Pause
Breathe out

The sound
Of the bell
Time to
Begin again
At the six AM
Alarm call

Breathe in
Pause
Breathe out

Feel the thump
Of the heart beating
Feel the warm journey
Of the in, and the out, breath
Cupped hands laid
On tummies soft sensation

Breathe in
Pause
Breathe out

Observed breath
Is unstable
Breath is happier
Easier, when working
Through unconscious
Yet steady routines

Breathe in
Pause
Breathe out

The first step
Is to have
Unconditional love
For conscious breath
To have belief
As I mindfully try

Breathe in
Pause
Breathe out

My breath
Is calm, quiet
Behind closed eyes
In this newfound
Awareness
There is no fear

Breathe in
Pause
Breathe out
