Around and 'round the Sun we go,
Filling our heads with submission.
A crowded moment upon heads' pin
And we without calm intermission.
Yoga, Zen, Prayer, Tai-Chi
Comfort to center the balance within,
But many can't stop for want of going
Their lives, a treadmill spin to win.
But stop! Let the air flow by you today.
Life's not a race or train to catch.
Cast off the rules, jump over the fence.
Disappear for a while to let joy hatch.
Enter the arms of Mother Earth,
Cool water, tender earth, warm fire.
Roots grow deep for the tenderness there
To expand your soft, calming desire.
A moment's expansion takes a day away --
Breathe deep the compassion for layaway.
