I No Longer Hesitate To Meditate Poem by John Sensele

Because meditation has mellowed my horizon
I brush aside trivia and drivel
Preferring to dwell in the equanimity zone
Where I now reap a marvel

In every aspect of the life I lead
At home, at work and at leisure
A phenomenon I appreciate indeed
Beyond pleasure, beyond measure

Marriage mastering well
Health flying to a boom
Improvements so many I can't tell
With neither doom nor gloom

To darken my nights
To short-circuit my peace of mind
Where in the past I revelled in puny plights
That drove my mind blind as I grew unkind

Separating mind from wellness
Inviting blues by the dozen
Driving away the happiness
I owe to the core of my inner Kitwe denizen.
