--A Poem by Vipul Shaha
Hey Mind!
Hope you don’t mind,
I want to ask you…
What are these wanderings that you do?
My mind, being seen n' baffled…
Tumbles…and fumbles…
Hmm...I too wonder…
‘bout my restless wanderings…!
Ah, well never mind…
I ask my mind again…
What is it that you keep longing?
Umm…no…nothing…
I keep myself busy…
With anything n’ everything…
You may call me a kid or a monkey…
Never pausing or ceasing…
day-dreaming…or even screaming…
I’m ever so hard-working!
I’m thinking…analyzing...
Sometimes even agonizing...
Every moment, I’m liking or disliking!
Fears n’ worries…memories n’ stories…
I keep them carrying…
Back n’ forth…past n’ future
I’m constantly traveling…
I nudge my mind again...
…what purpose is all this serving?
This constant choosing…chattering...
Isn’t it so very confusing!!?
All your critiquing n controlling
Wouldn’t it be so tiring?
Ever noticed how you really feeling?
What do you say mind…
If we chill n enjoy just being?
‘Cuz whatever’s meant to be
is anyway happenin'...!
My mind throws tantrums n begins freezing..
Uhh…are you firing me bro?
Haha, not at all my dear…
It’s time for us to grow!
Let's drop the baggage n dance…
to the tune of this moment!
You ready for a promotion?
To flow with mindful observation!
How my mind smiles n’ jumps!
Hugs the Heart…
It knows now…that every moment…
Is a brand new start!
