Subtle shift in flow
Perceptions altered in state
Body calmly rests

Poetry with a Zen Twist
Subtle shift in flow
Perceptions altered in state
Body calmly rests

They come and they go
Like memories made of sand
Like dust in the wind
Copyright © 2023 Gareth David Ogilvie
Faded clarity
Drifting out of wakefulness
Asleep whilst dreaming
Copyright © 2023 Gareth David Ogilvie
Carefully crafted
Each breathe invites more presence
Light up the candles

Empty corridor
Silence between the echoes
Keep the voice on mute

Inside the silence
Just choose what you want to think
Jump in the cockpit
Be the pilot of your mind
Watch yourself flying the plane

Time stands frozen
All doors stay open
Every movement
carefully woven
Sharply focused
Slow motion hocus
Disarms deadly locus
Blade cuts through the air
Adversary looks on in despair
The wielder has no care
No fear, heart only full of dare
With several a swift chop
Limbs, head and torso lop
A waist all that remains
Varying shades of red
leave their fresh stains
Copyright © 2022 Gareth David Ogilvie
Replayed nightmares haunt the psyche
Blinded by sorrow and pain
Memories stained with hurt's wounds
Stacked
on top of
one another
A foundation that holds heavy weight
Unearth the dark seeds and bring them
into the light
Their fruits will taste less bitter

Waiting at the top
From Observation tower
Thought bubbles transpire
